How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
Trans-temporal drag, sexuality and the re-staging of illegible moments in history.
Sachiko’s very simple, pure sine tones and structures. Otomo on double pianos. Filament’s music isn’t composed and it isn’t improvised: it’s a hybrid of the two.
Like walking through the abstracted amalgamation of 30 or so storms, trays of water shaken by thunder, light bouncing off pools.
Join activists, academics and artists as they reflect on abolitionist praxis and thought, exploring covergences with gender, poetry, technology, performance, speculation, aesthetics, film and culture. This series of events commemorates Black August and is for anyone who wishes to answer the abolitionist call to action and thought.
Ray and Thomas talking about how cognitive neuroscience is unlocking the physical basis of personal experience.
‘Ten Pieces in the Form of Painful Variations’ for piano, an impossible score that looks like a grapeshot musical stave, a text of barbed loathing and doubt – an anti-composition.
A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
Bruno’s liberated improvisational approach stretches beyond the lyrical, tough as nails rhythmic bursts and expressive, swinging attack of his drumming.
An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.
From really simple, open instructions, An Unrhymed Chord creates a kind of half-way point between composition and improvisation.
