Paul Sharits one of the great experimental, sometimes called structuralist / materialist, filmmakers of the 20th Century.
With a signature spartan sound and long term preoccupation in structural tactics (subtle shifts in density, drawn out stasis) Polwechsel blur the boundaries between individual instruments.
Dual projections of pulsating shards of film, treated in crystallized salts and dyes merge with the whirring of projectors, distilled into particles of sound.
An extravagant debauch of huge pianos, plush toys, cognac and ritual.
Brain boiling duo improvisation by great Japanese no input mixing desk pioneer Toshi Nakamura and french organ philosopher Jean-Luc Guionnet.
Black-clad with an ominous aura created by their distorted guitar epics, burnt-out ballads and raucous mantric jams.
A public walk from George Square to the Barras market bringing contributions from researchers, activists and artists in a form of live critical praxis
60 minutes of hard ass minimal film, projected onto a weather balloon and accompanied by the inspired poetic rant of a visionary Frenchman.
The production of moving image (film) by the mechanically, unfalteringly repetitive manipulation of mass-produced materials (film), in order to explore three different allegorical representations (films) of repetitive human actions and labour under capital.
If life is assaulted by power, where do we find spaces for living? A conversation with Peter Pál Pelbart.
A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
This mini, late-night ball will include categories inspired by the events earlier in the weekend.
