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.
How do we gesture to the invisible, the trans or the obscure? A performative conversation between boychild and Fernando, a sharing of gestures, and a bodily back and forth between mathematician and dance artist.
Three workshops lead up to an open invitation to improvise with the festival as concert. The last four hours of the Sunday 14 at Instal 10 were devoted to presentations devised during the three workshops. The material conditions (time, space, facilities…) were the instruments. From there anything could happen.
The role of feelings in public life, (political) depression and creative survival.
Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces
A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?
UNINSTAL was a set of events at Tramway that tested out radical ideas with leading local and international artists. A collection of events (performances, films, installations, walks and talks) about sound and listening.
UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.
Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
Each film in this programme celebrates process; the decay of emulsion, the properties of dust and dirt, the manipulation of time. Post the dawn of the digital age, we reflect on our love of the film form, celluloid as an object, a medium and a physical entity.
A loud, buzzing stew of electrical light as noise and convulsive electric guitar squall.
Reading their letters to each other, and chatting about prefigurative politics as the practice of relentlessly building worlds through unspeakable violence and loss; of building worlds and living in them anyway.
One of the most arresting and unique improvisers in Japan, creating an original and powerful body of free music.
