A series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.
A chat with Rashad about the communist, conceptual methodology that informs his ground-breaking synthetic music—a form of speculative sonic fiction writing to produce hyperreal non-representational auditive experiences.
Includes: street portraits of kids in 1930’s Dakota, a mysterious foggy pilgrimage, a swarm of time-lapsed consumers, a stereoscopic analysis of mill life, up close and personal in a Lighting Bolt mosh pit.
Listening to people listening to their own homes. Musicians and actors will listen back to recordings made in local peoples homes on headphones, and interpret/ translate what they are hearing.
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
How do poetry and maths stitch together pictures of our fractured situation from its wreckage and relics, from the debris of hope and the well of residues that make us what we are?
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
Journalist and underground music champion Alan Cummings talks to Keiji Haino about his career and his performance the previous evening.
A short chat about what we (Arika) might be trying to do with our program for the Biennial.
Voguing, drag, clubbing, and the politics of communities making different performances of gender and sexuality visible.
Three short performances involving social exchange (jumpers, hats, glasses…) and singing (ballads)
Repetitive, mesmerizing rhythmic workouts, to pieces of stark and rigorous introspection, where notes picked and slid in isolation, scatter like mercury around the listener.
