A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.
Poems are kisses, fists, and underground rivers. For all these reasons and many more, I am a poet.
An open-ended moment in an ongoing series of films, notes, performances, diagrams and drawings which trace the questions they share. A “porous space between cinema time-space and lived time-space.”
A trance inducing, flickering investigation of structural and minimalist droning from one of the key thinkers in sound and image over the last 50 years
A sort of prayer and conference, a sort of scream and dialogue – a monologue and declaration at the time, addressing how we can build complicity with one another.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.
Avant-wrongdoers Blood Stereo performing in Garthamlock the town spawned them.
Politicised fan-fiction chronicling working class gay urban space and fantasy.
A changing pool of people (40 or so at a time – artists, audiences, etc) talk for 90 minutes in a simultaneous series of open-ended round-table discussions, structured like speed dating, and mixed live as both a concert and for radio broadcast.
A parody of a (Manhattan) road movie and meditation on bifurcation, in paths traveled between the seen and the heard; a road trip played over and over from different perspectives.
