To Rococo Rot member Robert Lippok performing for the first time in the UK with his solo project.
Instead of the one-way monologue of normal performance, what would be the result of an actual collective dialogue? Where would it go?
Andrew Chalk & Christoph Heemann return with their diaphanous, impressionistic drone duo; their slowly evolving and enthralling works flutter and quiver with elegantly restrained, miniature sound events.
A crash-course in pre-figurative, radical, queer, anti-racist, anti-police, anti-prison, anti-deportation abolitionist politics and trans-resistance.
Black Boned Angel’s is a rock sound, stripped of all extraneous detail right down to its core, stretched out and nailed to the ceiling.
Durational group-mind drone and clatter: bamboo, electronics, the contents of your local ironmongers bin. A 3-hour set from this legendary Japanese improvisation group.
A conversation about the movement for prison abolition and refusing the logic of race and sex that underpins the criminalisation and mass incarceration of communities.
How black radical practices of abolition imagine a way out of the caging and mass killing of life.
Taking a scalpel to the relationship between performer and audience: cutting something out to see what’s left, a drastic subtraction and shift of emphasis.
Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
A sort of prayer and conference, a sort of scream and dialogue – a monologue and declaration at the time, addressing how we can build complicity with one another.
A black hole of dense heaviosity, full of slow motion riffage, tectonic pummel and massive planet destroying rock.
