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.
Cardboard boxes, metal guitar, critical homage, attempts to describe things you can’t describe. A one-man Grand Guignol school play.
A saxophone. Handheld fans. Shrill squeaks. Splutters, gargling. An incredible diversity of sounds, intensely focused by an inventive musician.
Intriguing, underground, Berlin based musicians interested in the borders between music and theatre, language, the visual arts, politics.
Droner responsible for Fordell Research Unit, Muscletusk’s murk manipulator and Metzian concrete-mixer cement international relations and yr heids.
A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
How do we gesture to the invisible, the trans or the obscure? A performative conversation between boychild and Fernando, a sharing of gestures, and a bodily back and forth between mathematician and dance artist.
Each organ is unique. The project is to find out what makes it unique.
A specially commissioned performance for organ. “The course of the stars were to be put to sound.”
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
A system in which oscillators shake The Arches, seismographs pick up the harmonics that are then amplified through massive sub-bass PA.
A short chat about what we (Arika) might be trying to do with our program for the Biennial.
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
