Trans-temporal drag, sexuality and the re-staging of illegible moments in history.
The club as a community and a site for performed politics: deep/ queer house, vogue femme, lipsync and ballroom.
Low-end drone guitarage army since 1997: nobody has done more on this occasion by a gaggle of sludge-lovers from the Scottish underground.
UNINSTAL was a set of events at Tramway that tested out radical ideas with leading local and international artists. A collection of events (performances, films, installations, walks and talks) about sound and listening.
An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an abandoned oil tanker on Hoy.
This programme is a celebration of Charlemagne Palestine; passionate, extravagant, visceral. Including two sections from Ritual dans le Vide, an extension of his ‘running camera’ works of the 70’s and Pip Chodorov’s vibrant workout of a live version of Strumming Music.
Minimal details and otherworldly glistening drones, rich with sustained metallic timbres that breathe with the scrapped pulse of bowed metal.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
