Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
A panel exploring the poetics of abolition. “Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change.”

An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
Jarringly beautiful and often maniacal expression of hallucinatory and very personal visions.

Jandek’s second ever live performance, and the first to be advertised in advance.
Investigating the border between the audible and the visible means looking at the margins, the edges of creativity where artists test out new boundaries and define them anew.
