Jandek’s second ever live performance, and the first to be advertised in advance.
Vanessa Place talks at The Friday Event series at the Glasgow School of Art about her practice as a writer.
Nothing if not repetitive, film is founded on the incremental succession of minute difference. But how does repetition of the same play out, and is it a tool to comment on the standardising repetition of the mass media?

Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
The first performative part in a game of chance and endurance as actor Tam Dean Burn constantly broadcasts for 24hrs.

This trans-exclusive workshop, co-facilitated by River McAskill, River Molloy and Zinzi Buchanan, offers body-focused exercises and creative practices for a trans-exclusive space, situated within the present local and global climate. We will bring an array of offerings related to the question: how can we take care of ourselves and one another, when we can’t trust state systems to take care of us? Come as you are and bring anything that adds to your comfort.
