Exploring the interplay between punk sinewave aggression, high-speed video sequences and stroboscopic lighting
A series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.
Arrive, get settled, be hosted and meet-up in IRL and URL.
What would a world and an ethics look like free from the destructive consequences of the Western mind?
An utterly deep introspection told in aching, weeping guitar lines; melodic, simple, always minimal but somehow entirely epic.
With a signature spartan sound and long term preoccupation in structural tactics (subtle shifts in density, drawn out stasis) Polwechsel blur the boundaries between individual instruments.
An open conversation hosted by Saidiya Hartman and Fred Moten around ‘fugitivity’ and ‘waywardness’ and what it means to be in flight, excessive or ungovernable.
This performance brings together film, text and speech and temporarily constructs a filmic space to think through questions of resistance, and the choice and consequence of action vs. inaction: what does it mean to choose to not take part?
What is the radical concept at the core of ‘rhythm’, expanded from simply musical or mathematical notions to encompass personal, social, collective rhythms?
This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
Jarringly beautiful and often maniacal expression of hallucinatory and very personal visions.
What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
