A series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.
A panel exploring the radical potential of technologies through fugitivity and opacity: their ability to obscure, to make it impossible for us to be known, to render us untraceable by every arm of the state even under the all-consuming spectre of surveillance capital.
How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
Acoustic turntable, engines, trumpet and accordion joined by Bassist Magarida Garcia: build long-form quietly detailed pieces that clatter and rumble, that expand and contract with the tension and release of deeply held breath.
A kind of performed installation of searing noise and silence, where we’re not sure who the performer is, when it starts or ends or even who it’s for.
A performance for projectionist, musicians and audience, which plays with references to Oscar Levant and Gershwin: apparently a series of small doses of chaos.
A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
A Feral Choir of people who’ve never improvised with their voices before, conducted by improviser yodeller, composer Phil Minton.
A performed reflection on Malin’s previous re-enacting of a super influential landmark of performance art from the French feminist and artist Gina Pane.
Vanessa Place talks at The Friday Event series at the Glasgow School of Art about her practice as a writer.
In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
