What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
Reading their letters to each other, and chatting about prefigurative politics as the practice of relentlessly building worlds through unspeakable violence and loss; of building worlds and living in them anyway.
Durational group-mind drone and clatter: bamboo, electronics, the contents of your local ironmongers bin. A 3-hour set from this legendary Japanese improvisation group.
Performances at CCA Glasgow by Keiji Haino, My Cat Is An Alien, Taurpis Tula, Jandek with Richard Youngs and Alex Neilson.
Conceived of as a dual publication, video cassette and booklet, to be presented as an installation. The content of the videotape is the artist watching television.

Paul Sharits is one of our all time heroes, and one of the great artist filmmakers of the 20th Century.

A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
