Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Friday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
A system in which film is projected onto copper strips, captured again and then re-projected as video, somehow transforming the original imagery into molasses-slow, molten and incredibly tactile flickers of colour and light.
Blood Stereo & Ludo Mich: linking past and present generations of DIY intuitive expression in a post fluxus ‘big mess’.
Freak-out group for the 21st century perform a live soundtrack to Ira Cohen’s infamous psychedelic masterpiece ‘The Invasion of Thunderbolt Pagoda’
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
Like walking through the abstracted amalgamation of 30 or so storms, trays of water shaken by thunder, light bouncing off pools.
UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
The club as a community and a site for performed politics: deep/ queer house, vogue femme, lipsync and ballroom.
For musical chameleon Richard Youngs both his creative and family life are focused in the room that many of us consider the centre piece of our lives.
The second in a series of workshops for workers and non-workers who care. What does the sharing of vulnerability entail? Can such a sharing inform progressive social relations?
