Arika have been creating events since 2001. The Archive is space to share the documentation of our work, over 600 events from the past 20 years. Browse the archive by event, artists and collections, explore using theme pairs, or use the index for a comprehensive overview.
What is the radical concept at the core of ‘rhythm’, expanded from simply musical or mathematical notions to encompass personal, social, collective rhythms?
Exploring the interplay between punk sinewave aggression, high-speed video sequences and stroboscopic lighting
A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.
A short chat about what we (Arika) might be trying to do with our program for the Biennial.
A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
Slapstick comedy, monologue, and a kind of live sculpture transformed through video, props, musical instruments and make-up.
Discussion with David Keenan: an author, critic and musician based in Glasgow, Scotland. He is best known for the reviews and features he has contributed to The Wire.
A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.
In the Foyer at the Tramway we will screen a documentary from the Sex Workers’ Festival of Resistance 2017 and La Llamada by Eduardo Restrepo Castaño.
Taku’s actions strip back musical performance to one of its original proposals: what is an action and how does it create a situation for spending time together, for paying attention?
Copying without Copying is 3 evenings of events that are about what happens when we speak, or when we hear someone speak on our behalf, when we share a collective moment of hearing and maybe understanding.
This mini, late-night ball will include categories inspired by the events earlier in the weekend.
