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.
Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?
A collaborative social justice project that uses art, activism and awareness to combat the systemic oppression facing young, trans, queer & gender nonconforming people of colour.
A solo improvisation using just the situation of the concert: a space, a PA, Mattin’s own thoughts, you, the audience.
Politicised fan-fiction chronicling working class gay urban space and fantasy.
A public walk from George Square to the Barras market bringing contributions from researchers, activists and artists in a form of live critical praxis
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
Post consideration and post rationalisation… How do we think about experimental music and film after the performance?
Dir. Nicolas Philibert
Documentary of La Borde clinic in France and its radical politics of experimentation, in which residents and staff reciprocate in a kind of entanglement, an opening up amongst themselves.
Location: Around and about the old public library in Easterhouse; disinvested in and left to rot by the council but which was shamelessly, hastily and superficially cleaned by them in expectation of our event.
Sometimes delicate, sometimes harsh and jarring, Yagi’s koto solos are as much inspired by Nancarrow or Cage as they are traditional.
Paul Sharits is one of our all time heroes, and one of the great artist filmmakers of the 20th Century.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
