How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
Investigating the border between the audible and the visible means looking at the margins, the edges of creativity where artists test out new boundaries and define them anew.
Location: between: the abandoned site of Parker House (ex-council office building) that became a student accommodation regeneration project, off the Dudhope roundabout; Bell Street Car Park entrance ramp and; the awkward (and otherwise used/ used otherwise) space left over between the back of Tesco’s and DW Sports on the Murraygate.
Dworkin asks: What would a non-expressive poetry look like? A poetry of intellect rather than emotion?
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
We’ll look more at psycho-emotional health – exploring experiences as opposed to diagnoses. And exploring collective care and collective healing.
Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Sunday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
A film installation as both allegory and investigation of The Rockridge Institute and their research into ‘framing’ and the use of metaphor within political discourse.
A recreation of one of Gustav Metzger’s celebrated auto destructive performances.
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
Work for cello, percussion, contra bassoon and cherbulum commissioned for Instal in collaboration with Paragon
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
