Arika have been creating events since 2001. The Archive is space to share the documentation of our work, over 600 events from the past 20 years. Browse the archive by event, artists and collections, explore using theme pairs, or use the index for a comprehensive overview.
An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.

French improviser, composer, writer & musical thinker of dry humour and elegant clarity. Sly conjurer of music from the unconsidered processes of music making.
Three short performances involving social exchange (jumpers, hats, glasses…) and singing (ballads)
Final workshop exploring work, care and class. Does the ‘care industry’ summon forth its own class? Can this ‘affective class’, in their ability to care for others, militate against the carelessness of self-interest?

Simon Morris is joined by Nick Thurston as they attempt to read aloud whilst peddling on exercise bikes.
Individual experience separated by physical boundaries (of space, time or ability) suggested as communities of collective experience by (perhaps voyeuristic) artists.
Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Friday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
Nikos played every note that it’s possible to play on the cello, all played back as a one hour drone, while the cello was turned to powder and bottled.
Jarringly beautiful and often maniacal expression of hallucinatory and very personal visions.
