Do almost nothing: re-present (unaltered and arranged by chance) silent family home movies handed down to Flo, (Ken’s wife) and follow them with a “teach yourself Yiddish” cassette tape.
Listening to people listening to their own homes. Musicians and actors will listen back to recordings made in local peoples homes on headphones, and interpret/ translate what they are hearing.
‘Ten Pieces in the Form of Painful Variations’ for piano, an impossible score that looks like a grapeshot musical stave, a text of barbed loathing and doubt – an anti-composition.
Poems are kisses, fists, and underground rivers. For all these reasons and many more, I am a poet.
Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
An informal conversation, over breakfast, about how abolition and movement work structures Mijke and Nat’s approach to transfeminism, ahead of their new book Trans Femme Futures.
We asked Christoph to come and give a sort of informal talk, raising some of his ideas about sound and image, and playing/ showing a few examples.
An audio report for the NATOarts board of directors that seeks to promote global security and stability through the exhibition of works of conceptual art.

Electronic music, time, thought, the word, and consecutive matters
