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.
An invitation into languages field of touch; to speak in feeling together.
This mini, late-night ball will include categories inspired by the events earlier in the weekend.
Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?
Profound mathematical ideas for romantics, to help us linger in the difference we share.
Imagery, drawn from what seems like hundreds of different films is overlaid and combined in a promissory rainbow of new meanings and impossible scenarios, with the unsettling feel of daylight shadows.
Instead of the one-way monologue of normal performance, what would be the result of an actual collective dialogue? Where would it go?
We asked Christoph to come and give a sort of informal talk, raising some of his ideas about sound and image, and playing/ showing a few examples.
Jarrod Fowler and Christof Migone kick things off with performances involving edible plants, a saw, dandruff, and Christof responding to the prompt: “as far as you can for as long as you can.”
How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
A chorister attempting to sing Vivaldi, with live accompaniment, while trampolining for 20 minutes.
A silent collage of found film footage partially layered with computer graphics to provide a framework in which live music can develop.
Solo performance by Diamanda Galás one of the great artists of the last forty years. Hers is an emotional expressionism of demonic shrieks, operatic falsettos, glottal clicks and diabolical growls.
