A solo improvisation using just the situation of the concert: a space, a PA, Mattin’s own thoughts, you, the audience.
First live show outside the USA featuring one-off film pieces and live theatre from the ringleaders of the ‘weird new America’ psych folk explosion.
The role of feelings in public life, (political) depression and creative survival.
A performed self-cancelling discussion, with artists from the festival, invited speakers and local artists talking at once, over each other, or straining to be heard over the din.
This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
An immersive live performance for multiple 16mm film and bass clarinet, taking in the whole gallery, submerging the audience.
One of the most startling cinematic debuts on record, The Flicker is more a hallucination than a film, an out of body experience and riotous celebration of visual harmonics frequencies. An experiment in perception, come with your mind and eyes open.
Radical transfeminism aims to hold the space for finding relations between the ruins of the everyday. Emerging from the debris, spaces for politics find form as poetics to carry understandings, actions and be/longings.
A life force of ecstatic clarity capable of loquacious bursts of affirmation.
Mashed up queer fantasy of worker’s revolts, biblical demons and present-day hells, and dubbed out cyborg-electro.
US percussionist, poet, sound artist and instrument maker performing on self-made instruments constructed from industrial materials such as stainless steel, titanium, PVC plastics and various kinds of pipe.
An improvisation that may or may not involve (typical) improvisation.
