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.
A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.
‘Ten Pieces in the Form of Painful Variations’ for piano, an impossible score that looks like a grapeshot musical stave, a text of barbed loathing and doubt – an anti-composition.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a remote sea cave near Durness.
Edinburgh. Beer and smoke befuddled drone/ deadly efforts by Pjorn72 kingpin.
Paul Sharits is one of our all time heroes, and one of the great artist filmmakers of the 20th Century.
Goodwin’s writing emanates from the social life of poetry, from a condition of entanglement before historically racially-specific forms of representation. Another word for this emanation is breath.
A black hole of dense heaviosity, full of slow motion riffage, tectonic pummel and massive planet destroying rock.
Vanessa Place talks at The Friday Event series at the Glasgow School of Art about her practice as a writer.
A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
60 minutes of hard ass minimal film, projected onto a weather balloon and accompanied by the inspired poetic rant of a visionary Frenchman.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
Work that focuses in on the static hiss and background noise of recording and pushes it to the fore.
