In rethinking the body, the law, the state, gender, race, violence, care and empathy, how we might give humanness a different future?
Performances at St Giles in the Fields, London by Jandek, Rhodri Davies & Angharad Davies, Rauhan Orkesteri.
Setting up a minimal procedure to explore the interaction between a person and the (documentary) film/ video process. What initially seems simple ends up contrarily distanced and intimate, public and private.
A programme looking at landscape, filmic or architectural spaces and at how the fixed stare of a camera frame only captures so much reality; here we focus on how filmmakers structure our relationship with that reality and at how they relate it to or interpret it through sound.
Solo performance by Diamanda Galás one of the great artists of the last forty years. Hers is an emotional expressionism of demonic shrieks, operatic falsettos, glottal clicks and diabolical growls.
How does this practice, that simultaneously resists and honours the distinctions between these genres, materials and senses, determine the inhabitation of another: a convergence of aesthetic and social experimentation?
Intriguing, underground, Berlin based musicians interested in the borders between music and theatre, language, the visual arts, politics.
A public walk from George Square to the Barras market bringing contributions from researchers, activists and artists in a form of live critical praxis
A kind of audience activating, structured film guessing game in the manipulation of time, sound and image. “At 11:15, weiners. At 21:05, pornography. At 23:30, a duet. Watch the Clock.”
What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
