A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
Performances at Anthology Film Archives NY by Jandek, Loren Mazzacane Connors & Alan Licht, and MV & EE.
Rare UK performance by legendary Japanese post punk group during their 4 drummers + synth / vocals phase.
Merzbow takes the junk of sound and transforms it into blistering noise assaults with an incredible spectrum and impact.
A new interpretation of Kosugi’s Catch-Wave, producing a cloud of fluctuating, hypnotic drones, in front of a backdrop of projected waves.
How do we gesture to the invisible, the trans or the obscure? A performative conversation between boychild and Fernando, a sharing of gestures, and a bodily back and forth between mathematician and dance artist.
Chip will read some of his great literary pornography, which pushes sexuality to the point of extremity and exhaustion.
Ecstatic, scalding and ludicrously heavy, nobody matches Incapacitants for live noise energy. One of the most exhilarating live acts in underground music.
A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.
First in a series of workshops for workers and non-workers who care. Does work that asks us to be attentive to the needs of others force us to sell our capacity for kindness?
Beatriz will explore her thinking, on film as translation, plural subjectivity or land-based militancy. Discussion will centre around her work Oriana and its companion piece Oenanthe, which will be screened in full.
