Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Friday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
(Cyber)feminist, non-essentialist transgender and queer daily radio shows using the formula of morning radio as an arch way of thinking about the scripted behaviour and controlled empathy of systematic care.
This performance brings together film, text and speech and temporarily constructs a filmic space to think through questions of resistance, and the choice and consequence of action vs. inaction: what does it mean to choose to not take part?
A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.
Paper Piece: Secrets is a performance for and with the whole audience, using paper, text, secrets, being in the crowd
A cast of pioneering and provocative spirits who exist outside the mainstream, between borders and definitions; a series of events that each explore different aspects of music that doesn’t quite fit any given category. INSTAL 08 included the Self-Cancellation project.
An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.
A performed, open, public conversation about how we might think politics from the position of intuition, in which Denise and Valentina use un-reasonable tools to map out a hybrid poetical/ ethical reading of their own situations.
A testimony to poverty from Chris’s own experiences, and an invitation to engage with an all too typical situation and context through a kind of imaginary listening.
Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.
A simple hands on workshop with micro-radio theorist and pioneer Kogawa.
