Simon Morris is joined by Nick Thurston as they attempt to read aloud whilst peddling on exercise bikes.
A performance for projectionist, musicians and audience, which plays with references to Oscar Levant and Gershwin: apparently a series of small doses of chaos.
Wordless, reverb drenched voice, ghosted electronics, seething and ferocious electronic damage and Patty Waters style vocal mania.
Offering a crip grief transformation and witness altar. A place to sit and breathe, remember our dead, wash our hands and leave offerings to and for loved ones we’ve lost – and for ourselves. Expect fire and a little bit of smoke. Concluding with a D/deaf centered social space with conversational interpreters available for those who do not speak ASL.
An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.
Greek TV company Onos Productions came to INSTAL 09 to document the festival and report on Nikos Veliotis’ Cello Powder performance.
The club as a community and a site for performed politics: deep/ queer house, vogue femme, lipsync and ballroom.
What happens when you are engaged in a deep and extended artistic practice that intersects between literature and music, notation and improvisation, sight and sound?
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.
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.
A public walk from George Square to the Barras market bringing contributions from researchers, activists and artists in a form of live critical praxis
A loud, buzzing stew of electrical light as noise and convulsive electric guitar squall.
