Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
An assembly to try and provide some experiential and theoretical resources for the renewal of a certain affective, extra-political sociality, in the face of one of our great adversaries; the forces of colonial, imperial, genocidal denial.
This event honoured those individuals who achieved the status of Icon during the period of 1986-1990.
Dave will lead a session created for teenagers and designed to stimulate a supportive environment for artistic exploration through music improvisation.
Sachiko’s very simple, pure sine tones and structures. Otomo on double pianos. Filament’s music isn’t composed and it isn’t improvised: it’s a hybrid of the two.
Jandek’s second ever live performance, and the first to be advertised in advance.
Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Sunday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
A trio of Tamio’s screaming and immovable slabs of sound; Mico’s dance/ performance/ piano; Fritz’s absurd, flailing percussion/ voice.
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
HEAVY Japanese super group, featuring the sundown delta blues of Kan Mikami, Toshi Ishizuka’s heavy, time folding drumming and Masayoshi Urabe on sax, harmonica and chains.
Artist Derek Lodge running a specially designed social space, somewhere for conversation, story-telling and interaction.
