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.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
Long Stringed Instrument performance involving up to 100 wires strung in tension over a 40m arch.
A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.
A public walk from George Square to the Barras market bringing contributions from researchers, activists and artists in a form of live critical praxis
Multiple images, glimpses of old films, abstract images in the midst of an electro-acoustic sound field of tape loops & analogue synthesizers
A day of presentations and discussions on the theme of audio visual perception in the context of experimental music, film and art.
A cast of pioneering and provocative spirits who exist outside the mainstream, between borders and definitions; a series of events that each explore different aspects of music that doesn’t quite fit any given category. INSTAL 08 included the Self-Cancellation project.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an old underground reservoir in Fife.
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?
A temporary archive and research space tracing the ways in which sound and audition move through everyday life.
A public gathering that brings together local artists, musicians, activists, and community organisers.
