An immersive live performance for multiple 16mm film and bass clarinet, taking in the whole gallery, submerging the audience.
Julius’ “small music” features simple snatches of found sound, played back through small speakers, often set in bowls of pigment and dirt which shimmies in the vibrations.
A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.
Why won’t the idea of the particle or individual go away? Is the measurement problem in physics a documentary film issue? What can a human be without its crutches of life-time and measure?
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 mixture of investigation groups, live performances, screenings and installations at DCA; the festival looked to strip back music, sound, film and moving image to their core ideas and explore them with artists and audiences.
A 100 strong Feral Choir of people who’ve never improvised with their voices before, conducted by composer Phil Minton.
How do you know what you want? Should freedom be doing what you ought, not doing what you want? How might a philosopher and artist turn this thinking into an enabling condition in the context of noise and improvisation?
An evening of live performances, readings & saucy rococo cakes celebrating the launch of Truth and Lies – An Anthology of Writing and Art by Sex Workers.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
A conversation about the movement for prison abolition and refusing the logic of race and sex that underpins the criminalisation and mass incarceration of communities.
