The Scottish based Paragon Ensemble has commissioned David Fennessy to compose music for Instal, which will be performed during the evening.

Jandek’s second ever live performance, and the first to be advertised in advance.
A kind of an informal overview of INSTAL.

Nikos played every note that it’s possible to play on the cello, all played back as a one hour drone, while the cello was turned to powder and bottled.
An LSD trip gone right via dense explorations of post-Fahey steel and low level drone.
Camille Sapara Barton author of Tending Grief will facilitate this BIPOC only session around somatics and racial justice.
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
We’ll be looking at decolonising ‘global mental health’. We’ll look at the concepts of decoloniality, of things being ‘culture bound’, and at hermeneutical injustice* as ways to examine dominator knowledge systems, and the institution of psych/iatry.
Ian and Gil will host a discussion on the Argument project’s social and political commentaries, and with you try and maybe think through whether and how they might still have some currency today: what’s changed and what’s stayed the same?
A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.
