A kind of an informal overview of INSTAL.
Solo organ performance by German composer Eva-Maria Houben, which focuses on ‘nearly nothing’ to expand the way we listen.
UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.
Work that focuses in on the static hiss and background noise of recording and pushes it to the fore.
In many ways, this Episode is our attempt to engage with Fred’s incredible writing: with his proposal that all black performance (culture, politics, sexuality, identity, and blackness itself) is improvisation.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
Artist Derek Lodge running a specially designed social space, somewhere for conversation, story-telling and interaction.
A poetic multi-screen performance about “the inadequacy of the arbitrary passing moment and the impossibility of permanence”. About time and change.
One of the great experimental films. A 60 minute, three part riddle that maybe approximates our intellectual development by moving from imageless words to the recognition of silent images and the learning of simple tasks and finally a serenity and acceptance of death.
Thought and action, writing and protesting. A chat with Nat Raha, KUCHENGA and Jackie Wang asking what can be learnt from writing across genres by agitators, activists and abolitionists?
Rare UK performance by legendary Japanese post punk group during their 4 drummers + synth / vocals phase.
An extravagant debauch of plush toys and ritual. Palestine performed a version of Strumming Music, a trance inducing investigation into overtone systems achievable on a Bosendorfer Imperial Piano.
