A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?
Jandek’s second ever live performance, and the first to be advertised in advance.
Sparse and miniature free thought workouts involving guitar, vocals and tuba.

A public gathering that brings together local artists, musicians, activists, and community organisers.
A new interpretation of Kosugi’s Catch-Wave, producing a cloud of fluctuating, hypnotic drones, in front of a backdrop of projected waves.

A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
