Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Saturday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
A queer black operatic requiem for piano and voice that asks us to stay in the hold of the slave ship, that tries to understand the connection from the slave ship to the prison.
A panel exploring how to dismantle the master’s house — its material edifices and ideological architecture — and the construction of abolitionist futures in the present.
Exploring the interplay between punk sinewave aggression, high-speed video sequences and stroboscopic lighting
Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
A performed self-cancelling discussion, with artists from the festival, invited speakers and local artists talking at once, over each other, or straining to be heard over the din.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
A film installation as both allegory and investigation of The Rockridge Institute and their research into ‘framing’ and the use of metaphor within political discourse.
A back and forth between Fred and Fernando on the transits and obstructions between mathematics and poetics, and how both help us to think from the other side.
Sound and image slipping out of synch and into discord, the programme includes (in London at least) a very special version of Hollis Frampton’s masterful (nostalgia) with a live narration by Michael Snow.
During their time in Scotland for Instal 06 Dave Dove, Bhob Rainey and Greg Kelly did some improvisation workshops and performances in and around Glasgow.
