Perhaps the paradigm of America’s covert musical subculture, Sun City Girls operate just over the border of raucous delirium.
Screening of films by Duvet Brothers, David Critchley, David Hall, John Latham, Judith Goddard, Mike Leggett, Tony Sinden
An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.
Chip will read some of his great literary pornography, which pushes sexuality to the point of extremity and exhaustion.
An immersive live performance for multiple 16mm film and bass clarinet, taking in the whole gallery, submerging the audience.
