A bodiless treatise on narration, bored speakers, audience misbehaviour and police megaphones, but: is anybody listening?
During their time in Scotland for Instal 06 Dave Dove, Bhob Rainey and Greg Kelly did some improvisation workshops and performances in and around Glasgow.
The first INSTAL festival (programmed by Barry Esson of Arika and Tiernan Kelly) featured a line-up including Robert Lippock, Philip Jeck, Fennesz, Paragon Ensemble, Icebreaker International, Defaalt and Rhomboi.
A celebration of risk taking and adventure from some of the boldest pioneers of the past 40 years, melding avant garde and underground forms of music and moving image to create new experiments and experiences in sight and sound.
Investigating the border between the audible and the visible means looking at the margins, the edges of creativity where artists test out new boundaries and define them anew.
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
A new interpretation of Kosugi’s Catch-Wave, producing a cloud of fluctuating, hypnotic drones, in front of a backdrop of projected waves.
A life force of ecstatic clarity capable of loquacious bursts of affirmation.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
Rather than asking the state for services, what kinds of change are made possible when we prioritise people supporting each other?
Arrive, get settled, be hosted and meet-up in IRL and URL.
