TEST featuring Fred Moten

Daniel Carter Matt Heyner Sabir Mateen Tom Bruno Fred Moten

TEST is a collective creative improvising quartet based out of the NYC Underground (figuratively and literally). Their street-hardened, spatial Jazz is riotous and intense: is also makes us think about collective organization, and different ideas of responsibility and liberty.

Film Programme 7: Duplication

Various Artists

Nothing if not repetitive, film is founded on the incremental succession of minute difference. But how does repetition of the same play out, and is it a tool to comment on the standardising repetition of the mass media?

Episode 3: Copying without Copying

Copying without Copying is 3 evenings of events that are about what happens when we speak, or when we hear someone speak on our behalf, when we share a collective moment of hearing and maybe understanding.

Film still from Oriana. In the foreground a person stands at the top of a grassy hill clearing in a wooded area. They are wearing a silver geometric mask made from triangle shaped mirrors; it covers the head and eyes and is tied under the chin with grey fabric ties. They stand with their arms crossed and leaning back slightly and are wearing a dark all in one suit. Blurred in the background stands another person looking towards the top of the grassy hill.

Charles Curtis & Raha Raissnia

Charles Curtis Raha Raissnia

A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.
