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 collaborative duo performance, Anoyonodekigoto sets up a sort of negotiation between a musician, a dancer, the audience and the space we’re all sharing.
An extravagant debauch of plush toys and ritual. Palestine performed a version of Strumming Music, a trance inducing investigation into overtone systems achievable on a Bosendorfer Imperial Piano.
ACCESS: SOUND FILE A day-long salon accompanying KYTN focusing on sound art.
Jarrod Fowler creates a social space where layered one-to-one live encounters with the audience become sonic material.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
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).
What would have happened in 1963 if someone from the voguing ball scene going on in Harlem had travelled downtown to perform alongside the early postmoderns at Judson Church?
A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
An audio and video investigation of gender cults, Catholicism, hauntings and nuns’ use of audio devices…
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
A celebration of risk taking and adventure from some of the boldest pioneers of the past 40 years, melding avant garde and underground forms of music and moving image to create new experiments and experiences in sight and sound.
Quintessentially British, The Bohman Brothers’ music is a home-made and DIY conflux of some of the most virulent strains of experimental music.
