Arika have been creating events since 2001. The Archive is space to share the documentation of our work, over 600 events from the past 20 years. Browse the archive by event, artists and collections, explore using theme pairs, or use the index for a comprehensive overview.
A programme of discontinuity between narration, text and image. Including Manual Saiz’s employment of John Malkovich’s Spanish dubbing double and Peter Rose’s absurdly hilarious concrete poetry subtitling chaos.
Can a musician create a sonic photograph; something with a depth of field, where you can hear sounds and their interconnections, much as you see objects and their relationships in a photo? Could a filmmaker use musical concepts to represent landscape?
Three (thankfully short) chats wherein we try and get at what’s eating us with regards to experimental music, and what we think might be worth salvaging.
One of the most revered and legendary underground acts of the past 20+ years, Current 93 is the constantly evolving creation of David Tibet.
Underground movement legend boychild hosts this workshop—on improvisation, cosmetics, movement and lip-sync.
Complexly interacting colossal drones by the creator of some of the most legendary yet least heard music of the 70’s.
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.
Acting at the minimum. Each film here substitutes one small thing for another, (ironically) transforming received meanings by the simplest of actions; often kind of funny too.
When we look, how do we objectify the body; how can we reflect on our (self) image as a construction?
Jarringly beautiful and often maniacal expression of hallucinatory and very personal visions.
A collaborative duo performance, Anoyonodekigoto sets up a sort of negotiation between a musician, a dancer, the audience and the space we’re all sharing.
Work that focuses in on the static hiss and background noise of recording and pushes it to the fore.
