Killer of Sheep is an undisputed masterpiece of African-American filmmaking and one of the most poetic, perceptive dramas ever made about family and community.
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
Screening of films by Duvet Brothers, David Critchley, David Hall, John Latham, Judith Goddard, Mike Leggett, Tony Sinden
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.
Voguing, drag, clubbing, and the politics of communities making different performances of gender and sexuality visible.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
Philip Jeck creates slowly evolving symphonies that are as much about the crackling hiss of old vinyl as the actual ‘musical’ material.
Simple maths and stringent scored instructions move precise frequencies and clicks to create a dense, fluctuating environment of standing waves and physical sound.
The second edition of the INSTAL festival broadened it’s scope to include performances from Francisco Lopez, Phil Niblock, Stefan Mathieu, Alva Noto, Ryoji Ikeda and John Wall.
Performances at Anthology Film Archives NY by Jandek, Loren Mazzacane Connors & Alan Licht, and MV & EE.
With a signature spartan sound and long term preoccupation in structural tactics (subtle shifts in density, drawn out stasis) Polwechsel blur the boundaries between individual instruments.
Jandek’s second ever live performance, and the first to be advertised in advance.
