Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.
A public walk from George Square to the Barras market bringing contributions from researchers, activists and artists in a form of live critical praxis
Includes: a £20 note, stock fluctuations, an examination of words in the video medium, a linguistic challenge for your mind, a frame by frame dissection 50 words, shop front poetry, image and language head to head and newspapers under the microscope.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.
Could cruising and random public sex be the basis of an ethically organised society? A discussion with Jackie Wang, Samuel R. Delany and Huw Lemmey.
A simple hands on workshop with micro-radio theorist and pioneer Kogawa.
Real-time video feedback loops submerged in laminal sheets of sound soaked in gauzy timbral detail and multi-valenced, buzzing overtones.
Slapstick comedy, monologue, and a kind of live sculpture transformed through video, props, musical instruments and make-up.
Listening to people listening to their own homes. Musicians and actors will listen back to recordings made in local peoples homes on headphones, and interpret/ translate what they are hearing.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing by the Stones of Stenness, instead of the Ring of Brodgar, because of bad weather.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
