Three short performances involving social exchange (jumpers, hats, glasses…) and singing (ballads)
Sax/Drums duo of raucous, pealing noise, and cries of beguiling lyricism, whispered sax phrases float in a timbral cloud of bowed metal and rumbling toms.
If life is assaulted by power, where do we find spaces for living? A conversation with Peter Pál Pelbart.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.
Location: Around and about the old public library in Easterhouse; disinvested in and left to rot by the council but which was shamelessly, hastily and superficially cleaned by them in expectation of our event.
Conceived of as a dual publication, video cassette and booklet, to be presented as an installation. The content of the videotape is the artist watching television.
A bodiless treatise on narration, bored speakers, audience misbehaviour and police megaphones, but: is anybody listening?
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an abandoned oil tanker on Hoy.
A conversation and livestream considering a global feminist critique of capital with Silvia Federici, Hortense Spillers and Gayatri C. Spivak.
A confrontational and somehow shamanic stance; introspective silences shattered by savage jabs at the strings, whirlwind strums dying into spartan chords
