Arika have been creating events since 2001. The Archive is space to share the documentation of our work, over 600 events from the past 20 years. Browse the archive by event, artists and collections, explore using theme pairs, or use the index for a comprehensive overview.
Includes: a polish counting lesson, around NYC with D A Pennebaker, a portrait of a tower block, a man with a spade, at home with KYTN regular Guy Sherwin, a cinematic Blair Witchish cut-up and a song for some swings.
Goodwin’s writing emanates from the social life of poetry, from a condition of entanglement before historically racially-specific forms of representation. Another word for this emanation is breath.
Noise music for the eyes: projectors turned into instruments, B&W film loops into a thrumming riot of colour, motion and sound.
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
A 101 panel on sex work in Scotland, hosted by Scotland for Decrim and National Ugly Mugs
Power-electronic klutz behaviour indecipherable blasphemies, cuts, bruises and broken microphones by Kovorox Sound head-honcho Lea Cummings.
A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?
Can we find ideas of queer anarchism, failure and low theory in popular culture?
A rare live performance which, although not a full installation, made use of the unique acoustic and spatial properties of the Arches to rattle the audience and help it locate its third ear.
Guitar solo where inscrutable, minute electric sounds are excavated by palms that smother and strangle, that wring sound from the fretboard, from behind the bridge.
A sound diffusion piece by Glasgow University’s Musica Electronica, and a further selection of electroacoustic performances.
