Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
Smith/Stewart set up allegorical situations over which they often have little to no control, but which instigate explorations of dependence and trust, the body, sex and death.
Sex worker only Collective Art Workshop led by the Hard Labour project from Scotland for Decrim.
(Cyber)feminist, non-essentialist transgender and queer daily radio shows using the formula of morning radio as an arch way of thinking about the scripted behaviour and controlled empathy of systematic care.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
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.
A simple hands on workshop with micro-radio theorist and pioneer Kogawa.
Long Stringed Instrument performance involving up to 100 wires strung in tension over a 40m arch.
The Echo project is an installation as audio guide for a crowd. And at the same time it’s a private conversation: with you, as one of 20 people in a room, a sort of public intimacy.
A poetic multi-screen performance about “the inadequacy of the arbitrary passing moment and the impossibility of permanence”. About time and change.
A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.
A festival asking how ideas of nihilism, darkness, subjectivity and abjection play out in experimental music, performance art, horror, neuroscience and philosophy?
