A sound diffusion piece by Glasgow University’s Musica Electronica, and a further selection of electroacoustic performances.
In 2008 we toured our Kill Your Timid Notion festival of experimental sound and image to London, Bristol and Glasgow, bringing audiences a taste of the previous 5 festival editions.
For this day-long festival, sex workers and their allies from New York, the tri-state area, and Europe will gather at MoMA PS1 to debate, perform, dance, strategize & share knowledge.
Voguing, drag, clubbing, and the politics of communities making different performances of gender and sexuality visible.
The role of feelings in public life, (political) depression and creative survival.
What would have happened in 1963 if someone from the voguing ball scene going on in Harlem had travelled downtown to perform alongside the early postmoderns at Judson Church?
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
Bringing together artists working with music, sound, film and the moving image, KYTN 2008 saw performances, improvisations, screenings and installations over three days at DCA.
The films in the programme take the essential and fundamental building blocks of cinema (combining sound and image through time) screw about with them, interrogate them and cast them anew.
From really simple, open instructions, An Unrhymed Chord creates a kind of half-way point between composition and improvisation.
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.
