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.
A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.
Join Brian as he ruminates on the history of how experimental filmmakers and sound artists have drifted into and taken over galleries in order to show their work.
An improvisation that may or may not involve (typical) improvisation.
Robin Hayward – exploring the micro-sounds of a tuba, filling slowly with sand.
UNINSTAL was a set of events at Tramway that tested out radical ideas with leading local and international artists. A collection of events (performances, films, installations, walks and talks) about sound and listening.
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.
In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
This event honoured those individuals who achieved the status of Icon during the period of 1986-1990.
The club as a community and a site for performed politics: deep/ queer house, vogue femme, lipsync and ballroom.
Folk poet, actor and bon viveur Kan Mikami in duo with Jojo Hiroshige, a founding member of Japanese Noise band Hijokaidan.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
Improvising using nothing so much as the passage of time as his instrument, Basinski creates works of great melancholic depth and fragile beauty.
