Camille Sapara Barton author of Tending Grief will facilitate this BIPOC only session around somatics and racial justice.
Junko’s screaming vocal in a nuanced, piercing duo with Urabe’s fuming and convulsive saxophone, far removed from the codes of musical tradition.
Greek TV company Onos Productions came to INSTAL 09 to document the festival and report on Nikos Veliotis’ Cello Powder performance.
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.
An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.
A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.
Simple maths and stringent scored instructions move precise frequencies and clicks to create a dense, fluctuating environment of standing waves and physical sound.
Includes: tamed TV snow, video feedback of racing particles, a remake of a polish photogram film destroyed in WWII, a visual and aural representation of Gestalt theory, hole-punched film and Guy Sherwin’s Cycles 3 double-projection.
Out of a dark haze, shafts of lights are picked out from the surface of film. Out of the black silence, noise, audible scratches bloom into a bright drone of broken and cracked objects.
A simple hands on workshop with micro-radio theorist and pioneer Kogawa.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
