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.
The second in a series of workshops for workers and non-workers who care. What does the sharing of vulnerability entail? Can such a sharing inform progressive social relations?
Chris Corsano, Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in the Hamilton Mausoleum, Hamilton.
A festival hewn from passions for experimental music, film and visual art and for a passion in figuring out how they can relate to, cross-fertilise and inspire and each other.
A specially commissioned performance for organ. “The course of the stars were to be put to sound.”
Deliberately blurred drones, absent of definite structure or rhythm, framed in silence and devoid of any distraction from the pure matter of sound.
A temporary archive and research space tracing the ways in which sound and audition move through everyday life.
Rather than asking the state for services, what kinds of change are made possible when we prioritise people supporting each other?
An extravagant debauch of huge pianos, plush toys, cognac and ritual.
UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.
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.
A day of presentations and discussions on the theme of audio visual perception in the context of experimental music, film and art.
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.
