Vanessa Place talks at The Friday Event series at the Glasgow School of Art about her practice as a writer.
Intriguing, underground, Berlin based musicians interested in the borders between music and theatre, language, the visual arts, politics.
Folk poet, actor and bon viveur Kan Mikami in duo with Jojo Hiroshige, a founding member of Japanese Noise band Hijokaidan.
Adamantly analogue, inspiring and frequently chaotic in performance, Metamkine draw no distinction between image and sound; during their intuitively improvised performances music and images are created simultaneously and equitably.
Solo performance on bass clarinet, jaw harp & voice by Arrington De Dionyso.
The Cube is a 6 hour performed installation in which sound and image are treated as independent but equal, where musicians and filmmakers sit alongside each other, improvise to and feed off both projected image and amplified and acoustic sound.
A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
A film as a translation of Monique Wittig’s landmark feminist novel Les Guérillères, in which a plural protagonist of militant feminists inhabit a fantastical, enigmatic and hallucinatory miasmatic space-time of post Hurricane Maria Puerto Rico.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
A parody of a (Manhattan) road movie and meditation on bifurcation, in paths traveled between the seen and the heard; a road trip played over and over from different perspectives.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
What would a world and an ethics look like free from the destructive consequences of the Western mind?
