A recreation of one of Gustav Metzger’s celebrated auto destructive performances.
Recently rediscovered but still very pertinent, Kino Beleške presents a series of speech acts and performative gestures by protagonists of the new artistic practice in former Yugoslavia: each a personal take on the role of art in society.
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).
A black hole of dense heaviosity, full of slow motion riffage, tectonic pummel and massive planet destroying rock.
The final iteration of Arika’s INSTAL festivals, the 2010 edition was an experimental festival of experimental music – 3 days of events at the Tramway that explored un-average ideas about sound and music.

Jandek’s second ever live performance, and the first to be advertised in advance.
Underground movement legend boychild hosts this workshop—on improvisation, cosmetics, movement and lip-sync.
Beyond time, colorlines, ability, and sexuality, a movement exploration into what it means to see and be seen, how hearing contrast with what is actually being heard.
