North West from Chester Hill, Composition – 10 (1960)
Lee Patterson Luke Fowler
A delicate and detailed walk through the urban and rural landscape around Dundee; a poetic focus on the details found. A performance for 16mm projection and live amplified objects (maybe pine cones, maybe a coke bottle).

Overheard (Performance Part 2)
Resonance Radio Orchestra

Christian Bök
Christian Bök‘s work spans thrillingly conceptual poetry to body-shaking vocal performances.
Exhibition: Gravitational Feel
Fred Moten Wu Tsang

Tetsuya Umeda
Tetsuya Umeda
Umeda is a Japanese artist who is as fascinated in setting up interesting situations to observe, as he is in creating performances.
