Simon Morris is joined by Nick Thurston as they attempt to read aloud whilst peddling on exercise bikes.
A rare live performance which, although not a full installation, made use of the unique acoustic and spatial properties of the Arches to rattle the audience and help it locate its third ear.
A delicate and detailed walk through the urban and rural landscape around Dundee; a poetic focus on the details found. A performance for 16mm projection and live amplified objects (maybe pine cones, maybe a coke bottle).
If life is assaulted by power, where do we find spaces for living? A conversation with Peter Pál Pelbart.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
Politicised fan-fiction chronicling working class gay urban space and fantasy.
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
Jarringly beautiful and often maniacal expression of hallucinatory and very personal visions.
Summer Solstice hang out IRL and URL on 21 June
Transfeminist and revolutionary poetry, voice and timbral abstraction: a sounding and spatialising of reparative sonic and somatic practices that can speak back to violent histories of expropriation and ecocide.
Three intense solo performances for drums (both played and screamed through), cymbal, voice, credit card, bird whistle, and guitar amplifier/leads.
The Scottish based Paragon Ensemble has commissioned David Fennessy to compose music for Instal, which will be performed during the evening.
