This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
A celebration of our overabundant social entanglement and complicity, that remind us of how we can see ourselves, stripped of powers’ attempts to grasp us.
Noise music for the eyes: projectors turned into instruments, B&W film loops into a thrumming riot of colour, motion and sound.
Inspired by Delany’s Aye, and Gomorra. A spookily filmic world where asexual bodies live in the contradiction of their unarousable loneliness and desire for intimacy and contact.
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.
4 days of workshops, discussions and artists presentations exploring the radical act of caring for each other while working to change the world.
Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.
A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
A kind of performed installation of searing noise and silence, where we’re not sure who the performer is, when it starts or ends or even who it’s for.
Edinburgh. Nigh-inaudible improv jams with disabled instruments from the makers of Giant Tank and Pizza Boy Delivery.
Is there a link between the ways we’re caged and exiled by the prison-industrial complex and the ways people’s bodies are violently categorised and segregated by race, class, gender or ability?
Recently rediscovered but still very pertinent, Kino Beleške presents a series of speech acts and performative gestures by protagonists of the new artistic practice in former Yugoslavia: each a personal take on the role of art in society.
