A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.
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.
This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
The production of moving image (film) by the mechanically, unfalteringly repetitive manipulation of mass-produced materials (film), in order to explore three different allegorical representations (films) of repetitive human actions and labour under capital.
Open-ended, paradoxical and performed investigations into: misunderstanding, language games, form saturated with sense, and consecutive matters…
A crash-course in pre-figurative, radical, queer, anti-racist, anti-police, anti-prison, anti-deportation abolitionist politics and trans-resistance.
Jandek’s second ever live performance, and the first to be advertised in advance.
Merzbow takes the junk of sound and transforms it into blistering noise assaults with an incredible spectrum and impact.
Joan La Barbara presents works exploring the colour spectrum of a single pitch resonating in her skull, an evocation of bird song and circular singing.
Join activists, academics and artists as they reflect on abolitionist praxis and thought, exploring covergences with gender, poetry, technology, performance, speculation, aesthetics, film and culture. This series of events commemorates Black August and is for anyone who wishes to answer the abolitionist call to action and thought.
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
