Quintessentially British, The Bohman Brothers’ music is a home-made and DIY conflux of some of the most virulent strains of experimental music.
A performative survey of listening, as we managed to find it being used as a tool in different practices, disciplines and communities in North America (music, poetry, film, philosophy, activism…).
A bodiless treatise on narration, bored speakers, audience misbehaviour and police megaphones, but: is anybody listening?
Post consideration and post rationalisation… How do we think about experimental music and film after the performance?
An contradictory guitarist, he’s equally at home in slow, halting acoustic improvisation or piercing minimal examinations of electric guitar.
Moor Mother is a musician, Philadelphian housing activist and black quantum futurist.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
Glasgow based artist Defaalt invites the audience to collaborate fully in his performance by means of a generative graphical interface.
Setting up a minimal procedure to explore the interaction between a person and the (documentary) film/ video process. What initially seems simple ends up contrarily distanced and intimate, public and private.
A system in which film is projected onto copper strips, captured again and then re-projected as video, somehow transforming the original imagery into molasses-slow, molten and incredibly tactile flickers of colour and light.
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
Artist Derek Lodge running a specially designed social space, somewhere for conversation, story-telling and interaction.
