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.
A loud, buzzing stew of electrical light as noise and convulsive electric guitar squall.
A simple hands on workshop with micro-radio theorist and pioneer Kogawa.
Sparse and miniature free thought workouts involving guitar, vocals and tuba.
60 minutes of hard ass minimal film, projected onto a weather balloon and accompanied by the inspired poetic rant of a visionary Frenchman.
A trio of Tamio’s screaming and immovable slabs of sound; Mico’s dance/ performance/ piano; Fritz’s absurd, flailing percussion/ voice.
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
Nothing if not repetitive, film is founded on the incremental succession of minute difference. But how does repetition of the same play out, and is it a tool to comment on the standardising repetition of the mass media?
A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
A life force of ecstatic clarity capable of loquacious bursts of affirmation.
How might two of the great musicians working within contrasting traditions of freedom collaborate? What might this produce: musically, socially, allegorically?
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
