Long Stringed Instrument performance involving up to 100 wires strung in tension over a 40m arch.
Dub is strange. A conversation with Edward George and Dhanveer Brar.
Underlying radical transfeminism, as an urgent critique of binary essentialism and fixed identities, is the call for a new kind of thinking that can move between and integrate the truths of all lives in their transformations.
One of the most startling cinematic debuts on record, The Flicker is more a hallucination than a film, an out of body experience and riotous celebration of visual harmonics frequencies. An experiment in perception, come with your mind and eyes open.
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.
Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
Location: between: the abandoned site of Parker House (ex-council office building) that became a student accommodation regeneration project, off the Dudhope roundabout; Bell Street Car Park entrance ramp and; the awkward (and otherwise used/ used otherwise) space left over between the back of Tesco’s and DW Sports on the Murraygate.
Summing up of the investigations with a reflection on what has been done that week and what could be done the next.
Listening to people listening to their own homes. Musicians and actors will listen back to recordings made in local peoples homes on headphones, and interpret/ translate what they are hearing.
