Chip will read some of his great literary pornography, which pushes sexuality to the point of extremity and exhaustion.
A kind of performed installation of searing noise and silence, where we’re not sure who the performer is, when it starts or ends or even who it’s for.
Paul Sharits’ Shutter Interface is a multi screen installation born of an intent to reveal the material substance of cinema in its purest form: spatially.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
The role of feelings in public life, (political) depression and creative survival.
A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.
How black radical practices of abolition imagine a way out of the caging and mass killing of life.
A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?
An utterly deep introspection told in aching, weeping guitar lines; melodic, simple, always minimal but somehow entirely epic.
A system in which film is projected onto copper strips, captured again and then re-projected as video, somehow transforming the original imagery into molasses-slow, molten and incredibly tactile flickers of colour and light.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
