Arika have been creating events since 2001. The Archive is space to share the documentation of our work, over 600 events from the past 20 years. Browse the archive by event, artists and collections, explore using theme pairs, or use the index for a comprehensive overview.
The films in the programme take the essential and fundamental building blocks of cinema (combining sound and image through time) screw about with them, interrogate them and cast them anew.
The second in a series of workshops for workers and non-workers who care. What does the sharing of vulnerability entail? Can such a sharing inform progressive social relations?
Organised by Twiggy Pucci Garcon and Pony Zion, The Masters Ball focuses on the work of 50 individuals designated within the scene as ‘masters’ in their respective performance categories, which include Vogue, Runway, and Face.
Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces
The final iteration of Arika’s INSTAL festivals, the 2010 edition was an experimental festival of experimental music – 3 days of events at the Tramway that explored un-average ideas about sound and music.
A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.
A kind of an informal overview of INSTAL.
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.
60 cycle hums, jagged static cracklings, and clipped electron pinpricks, mutating them into sublime, post-techno grooves
A rare live performance which, although not a full installation, made use of the unique acoustic and spatial properties of the Arches to rattle the audience and help it locate its third ear.
Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.
Slapstick comedy, monologue, and a kind of live sculpture transformed through video, props, musical instruments and make-up.
