This programme takes human subjects as the focus for sound and image construction. And it includes a couple of masterpieces of experimental film: Paul Sharits’ deeply empathetic interpretation of epilepsy and Peter Kubelka’s Webern inspired abstract portrait of Arnulf Rainer.
We asked Christoph to come and give a sort of informal talk, raising some of his ideas about sound and image, and playing/ showing a few examples.
A back and forth between Fred and Fernando on the transits and obstructions between mathematics and poetics, and how both help us to think from the other side.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an abandoned oil tanker on Hoy.
A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.
Jean-Luc Guionnet will be giving a talk as part of the music department’s ongoing series of colloquia.
Sadia Shirazi & Mezna Qato will discuss a series of scores that explore the texture and landscape of exile, resistance, and Muslim sociality. These instructional scores trouble the idea that art and activism are untouched by faith and faith is untouched by art and activism.
Seven women recite monologues composed from texts from the vibrant years of the Weimar Republic. A kind of cultural echo: an experience of histories brought to the present.
A double bill of A (imageless) film of nothing but a sound recording and its transcription and a found film of news interviews about Malcolm X’s assasination, where the filmmaker decided to add nothing to it, except our attention.
When we look, how do we objectify the body; how can we reflect on our (self) image as a construction?
A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
Arrive, get settled, be hosted and meet-up in IRL and URL.
