What would a world and an ethics look like free from the destructive consequences of the Western mind?
Slapstick comedy, monologue, and a kind of live sculpture transformed through video, props, musical instruments and make-up.
Glasgow based artist Defaalt invites the audience to collaborate fully in his performance by means of a generative graphical interface.
AMM have undoubtedly been among the most important contributors to the UK free improv scene for nearly 40 years and we are extremely proud to be able to be working with such distinguished musicians who still rarely play live in the UK.
Laser beam sine tones used to draw delicate, abstract patterns by vibrating charcoal, placed atop of a great strip of paper running through the gallery; beautiful, fragile sound-created autonomous drawing.

Perhaps the paradigm of America’s covert musical subculture, Sun City Girls operate just over the border of raucous delirium.
Every aspect of every film is always about more than just film. Or, as Godard said: a tracking shot is a moral issue. A cross between a festival, magazine and discussion about experimental artists’ films.
Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.

Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
