A performance bearing witness to a struggle built upon patience and collective action from the great multi-instrumentalist and member of the AACM.
With lo-fi dreams and high-def humor, Bande brings MC vibes to the day. Interluding music with spoken performance, the live extimacy of Bande’s presence reaches out via emo-techno-bridges.
Every aspect of every film is always about more than just film. Or, as Godard said: a tracking shot is a moral issue. A cross between a festival, magazine and discussion about experimental artists’ films.
A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
This event honoured those individuals who achieved the status of Icon during the period of 1986-1990.
Journalist and underground music champion Alan Cummings talks to Keiji Haino about his career and his performance the previous evening.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
A performed reflection on Malin’s previous re-enacting of a super influential landmark of performance art from the French feminist and artist Gina Pane.
We’ll look at the language and politics of what gets ‘mental health’ and consider more holistic understandings of experiences that honour the connection between mind/body/soul, and that acknowledge social and political context.
A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
A chorister attempting to sing Vivaldi, with live accompaniment, while trampolining for 20 minutes.
Like walking through the abstracted amalgamation of 30 or so storms, trays of water shaken by thunder, light bouncing off pools.
