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.
Edinburgh. Nigh-inaudible improv jams with disabled instruments from the makers of Giant Tank and Pizza Boy Delivery.
Julius Eastman’s Evil Nigger for 4 pianos performed by Joe Kubera, Kate Thompson, David Murray, Alan Fearon and Simon Passmore.
A recreation of one of Gustav Metzger’s celebrated auto destructive performances.
Hartmut is going to talk a little about his work at large and the politics of how his films are constructed. And we’ll screen one of his best films: B-52.
A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
An LSD trip gone right via dense explorations of post-Fahey steel and low level drone.
Edinburgh. Sinewave manipulating Giant Tank-ette goes head-to-head with Decaer Pinga’s first lady of noise.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a large multi chambered industrial ice house.
Social and party with all proceeds going to the Unity Centre, featuring DJ SETS with Dj@Christelle, DJ D-Harsh, Nena Etza & Moor Mother.
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 programme that looks at how sound and image can be treated as variants in a collection of ordered objects; at how to create meaning from the similar, and to notice difference.
