An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
Vajra are a Japanese psychedelic rock supergroup, hewn from the collective consciousness of Fushitsusha’s Keiji Haino, folk radical Kan Mikami and percussionist Toshiaki Ishitsuka.
An immersive live performance for multiple 16mm film and bass clarinet, taking in the whole gallery, submerging the audience.
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.
Poems are kisses, fists, and underground rivers. For all these reasons and many more, I am a poet.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
Hijokaidan rapidly built a following due to the overwhelmingly physical intensity of their live performances, often involving destructive onstage rituals of vomit, urine, mangled guitars and ear shredding volume.
A simple hands on workshop with micro-radio theorist and pioneer Kogawa.
Screening of films by Duvet Brothers, David Critchley, David Hall, John Latham, Judith Goddard, Mike Leggett, Tony Sinden
Every aspect of every film is always about more than just film. Or, as Godard said: a tracking shot is a moral issue. A cross between a festival, magazine and discussion about experimental artists’ films.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
