Chip will read some of his great literary pornography, which pushes sexuality to the point of extremity and exhaustion.
A celebration of our overabundant social entanglement and complicity, that remind us of how we can see ourselves, stripped of powers’ attempts to grasp us.
Work for cello, percussion, contra bassoon and cherbulum commissioned for Instal in collaboration with Paragon
When we look, how do we objectify the body; how can we reflect on our (self) image as a construction?
Inspired by the supernatural horror of H. P. Lovecraft, black metal and a sense of worry as to what constitutes an object, or a world.
Rare UK performance by legendary Japanese post punk group during their 4 drummers + synth / vocals phase.
Strickland Distribution and Ultra-red give a practical sound workshop bringing together walk participants to discuss the issues raised during the walk
Three workshops lead up to an open invitation to improvise with the festival as concert. The last four hours of the Sunday 14 at Instal 10 were devoted to presentations devised during the three workshops. The material conditions (time, space, facilities…) were the instruments. From there anything could happen.
Chris Corsano, Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in the Hamilton Mausoleum, Hamilton.
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.
Film and sound stripped of ‘content’ and experienced spatially, to be looked at not on the screen but in the space of the gallery
A performance bearing witness to a struggle built upon patience and collective action from the great multi-instrumentalist and member of the AACM.
