An immersive live performance for multiple 16mm film and bass clarinet, taking in the whole gallery, submerging the audience.
Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces
Hijokaidan rapidly built a following due to the overwhelmingly physical intensity of their live performances, often involving destructive onstage rituals of vomit, urine, mangled guitars and ear shredding volume.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
For this day-long festival, sex workers and their allies from New York, the tri-state area, and Europe will gather at MoMA PS1 to debate, perform, dance, strategize & share knowledge.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
A performance for projectionist, musicians and audience, which plays with references to Oscar Levant and Gershwin: apparently a series of small doses of chaos.
Reveling in the geometric, mathematical and perceptual relationship between sound and form, this programme features a landmark work of experimental film in Kubelka’s Arnulf Rainer; a complex, enduring and expressive of structuralist or flicker films.
How do communities formed under the duress of violent othering and the joy of solidarity – such as ballroom culture, Black diasporas, Zapatistas – reform bonds of kinship?
Criminal Queers visualises a radical trans/queer struggle against the prison industrial complex, working to abolish the multiple ways our hearts, genders, and desires are confined.
A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.
A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
