If life is assaulted by power, where do we find spaces for living? A conversation with Peter Pál Pelbart.
Each of these films addresses place, landscape or location and the personal reaction to their magical or concrete properties. Watch out for Kren’s structural, throbbing investigation of a forest and Baillie’s intimate and humble essay on a blind guitarist and the relationship between songs of Mexican revolutionaries and the people and places they looked to inspire.
ACCESS: SOUND FILE A day-long salon accompanying KYTN focusing on sound art.
The pieces in the programme switch between silent film/ imageless sound, but we wanted to have a think about how ideas can take up residency on either side of the sound/ image border, without having to inhabit both at the same time.
Where we join Nackt Insecten’s disembodied spectral howls and heavyweight locomotive drones about SPT’s Subway.
The Tower performance at KYTN throws into that mix the 70’s fluxus light shows and films of Jeff Perkins and other filmic interventions tuned to their unique frequency.
An extravagant debauch of huge pianos, plush toys, cognac and ritual.
To Rococo Rot member Robert Lippok performing for the first time in the UK with his solo project.
Vanessa Place talks at The Friday Event series at the Glasgow School of Art about her practice as a writer.
A recreation of one of Gustav Metzger’s celebrated auto destructive performances.

(Cyber)feminist, non-essentialist transgender and queer daily radio shows using the formula of morning radio as an arch way of thinking about the scripted behaviour and controlled empathy of systematic care.
