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.
Daniel Carter & Sabir Mateen’s trio with percussionist Andrew Barker; incessantly driving forward through sweat-drenched bursts of pure ecstatic freedom.
How do you know what you want? Should freedom be doing what you ought, not doing what you want? How might a philosopher and artist turn this thinking into an enabling condition in the context of noise and improvisation?
A discussion about what is at stake in the performance of realness and the practice of passing, and how they are both acts of survival and resistance.
An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.
How might two of the great musicians working within contrasting traditions of freedom collaborate? What might this produce: musically, socially, allegorically?
A kind of an informal overview of INSTAL.
How does this practice, that simultaneously resists and honours the distinctions between these genres, materials and senses, determine the inhabitation of another: a convergence of aesthetic and social experimentation?
Jean-Luc Guionnet will be giving a talk as part of the music department’s ongoing series of colloquia.
Using violin and cello the duo map out a twilight sonic world that seems to tread the faultlines between improvisation and composition.
First in a series of workshops for workers and non-workers who care. Does work that asks us to be attentive to the needs of others force us to sell our capacity for kindness?
Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.
A rare live performance which, although not a full installation, made use of the unique acoustic and spatial properties of the Arches to rattle the audience and help it locate its third ear.
