Jacobs’ pulsing and abstract 3D Nervous Magic Lantern performance grounded by Eric La Casa’s manipulated recordings of everyday locations.
Jean-Luc Guionnet will be giving a talk as part of the music department’s ongoing series of colloquia.
A double bill of Morgan Fisher films that ask what can be achieved by a simple structural method of commenting on scraps of 35mm film, re-shot on 16mm film and what happens to meaning (if anything) when ‘insert shots’ are relieved of their original duty of providing crucial plot development for a variety of other movies?
Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
A sung-through Nubian musical ballet. A darkly humorous take on sexual trauma and what magical and ancestral tools might heal it.
Jarrod Fowler creates a social space where layered one-to-one live encounters with the audience become sonic material.
Three short performances involving social exchange (jumpers, hats, glasses…) and singing (ballads)
An open conversation hosted by Saidiya Hartman and Fred Moten around ‘fugitivity’ and ‘waywardness’ and what it means to be in flight, excessive or ungovernable.
A dismantled, performed film, where a narrator pieces together the sounds, images and storytelling of a documentary about Hurricane Katrina before a live audience.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
