Three different performances variously featuring: Fritz Welch, loud drums, guitar, local collaborators, paper, memories, Roland Barthes, string quartets
What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
The films in the programme take the essential and fundamental building blocks of cinema (combining sound and image through time) screw about with them, interrogate them and cast them anew.
A short chat about what we (Arika) might be trying to do with our program for the Biennial.
Nothing if not repetitive, film is founded on the incremental succession of minute difference. But how does repetition of the same play out, and is it a tool to comment on the standardising repetition of the mass media?

What kind of listening and acknowledging do we offer each other? What is it to listen to an ‘elsewhere’, and do we ever do anything else when we listen to music?

From really simple, open instructions, An Unrhymed Chord creates a kind of half-way point between composition and improvisation.
Repetitive, mesmerizing rhythmic workouts, to pieces of stark and rigorous introspection, where notes picked and slid in isolation, scatter like mercury around the listener.
