Live ISDN drone performance resonating between Dundee and an empty Montreal Grain Silo.
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.
Sound and image slipping out of synch and into discord, the programme includes (in London at least) a very special version of Hollis Frampton’s masterful (nostalgia) with a live narration by Michael Snow.
The program of composed music including Feldman’s Instruments III, Ligeti’s piece for 100 Metronomes Poeme Sympathetique, and Rebonds B by Iannis Xenakis.
Conceived of as a dual publication, video cassette and booklet, to be presented as an installation. The content of the videotape is the artist watching television.
A sung-through Nubian musical ballet. A darkly humorous take on sexual trauma and what magical and ancestral tools might heal it.
Paper Piece: Secrets is a performance for and with the whole audience, using paper, text, secrets, being in the crowd

A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
The session – aimed specifically at white people – will be run by Tripod. We will explore and address whiteness, embodied responses to racial tension and somatic techniques to build resilience for practicing anti-racist action. It will be a space to learn and transform together and look at further anti-racist resources and work.
Could cruising and random public sex be the basis of an ethically organised society? A discussion with Jackie Wang, Samuel R. Delany and Huw Lemmey.
A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
