Take a break and/ or hang in an Open Meet Up in IRL and URL

The Tower performance at KYTN throws into that mix the 70’s fluxus light shows and films of Jeff Perkins and other filmic interventions tuned to their unique frequency.
Leading language/ action/ sound poet performed his groundbreaking concrete poem, a dizzying mandala of text, symbols and rubber stamps; a kind of book as reading machine.
A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
Ex Ganger guitarist’s solo performance for guitar and fx, featuring breathless processed guitar, complex in structure and melody.
Beyond time, colorlines, ability, and sexuality, a movement exploration into what it means to see and be seen, how hearing contrast with what is actually being heard.
Jandek’s second ever live performance, and the first to be advertised in advance.
A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
Rather than asking the state for services, what kinds of change are made possible when we prioritise people supporting each other?
A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.
