A life force of ecstatic clarity capable of loquacious bursts of affirmation.
A double bill of Morgan Fisher films that ask what can be achieved by a simple structural method of commenting on scraps of 35mm film, re-shot on 16mm film and what happens to meaning (if anything) when ‘insert shots’ are relieved of their original duty of providing crucial plot development for a variety of other movies?
Vanessa Place talks at The Friday Event series at the Glasgow School of Art about her practice as a writer.
No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.
The club as a community and a site for performed politics: deep/ queer house, vogue femme, lipsync and ballroom.
Where we join Nackt Insecten’s disembodied spectral howls and heavyweight locomotive drones about SPT’s Subway.
On the birthday of Marsha P. Johnson, this event brings together several elements that celebrate the radical care and kinship characteristic of the Trans revolutionary.
Joe Colley specialises in hotwired sound constructions full of ominous electronic disturbances and caustic, noxious drones. For KYTN, Joe created a situation of controlled chaos with 50 light sensitive oscillators placed in a field of candles.
Series of short sets by Acid Mothers Temple / Ruins offshoots Zubi Zuva X, Akaten & Zoffy.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
