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.
During their time in Scotland for Instal 06 Dave Dove, Bhob Rainey and Greg Kelly did some improvisation workshops and performances in and around Glasgow.
This mini, late-night ball will include categories inspired by the events earlier in the weekend.
A saxophone. Handheld fans. Shrill squeaks. Splutters, gargling. An incredible diversity of sounds, intensely focused by an inventive musician.
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 specially commissioned performance for organ. “The course of the stars were to be put to sound.”
Glasgow. Power electronic klutz behaviour by Kovorox sound head-honcho. Bruised bodies and broken microphones.
The final iteration of Arika’s INSTAL festivals, the 2010 edition was an experimental festival of experimental music – 3 days of events at the Tramway that explored un-average ideas about sound and music.
A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
The queer archiving of traumatic cultural memory from one of the leading voices working with queer archives.
Has neoliberal capitalism locked down social experience? Are our seemingly subjective desires, our identities, pre-packaged by dominating social structures?
Simon Morris is joined by Nick Thurston as they attempt to read aloud whilst peddling on exercise bikes.
In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
