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.
A performative survey of listening, as we managed to find it being used as a tool in different practices, disciplines and communities in North America (music, poetry, film, philosophy, activism…).
Sound as it is endured by space and the body: 15 participants lie face down and pound the floor with a microphone one thousand times, each person choosing their own rhythm and intensity.
Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.

Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
An immersive live performance for multiple 16mm film and bass clarinet, taking in the whole gallery, submerging the audience.
A trio of Tamio’s screaming and immovable slabs of sound; Mico’s dance/ performance/ piano; Fritz’s absurd, flailing percussion/ voice.
Jarrod Fowler creates a social space where layered one-to-one live encounters with the audience become sonic material.
Guitar solo where inscrutable, minute electric sounds are excavated by palms that smother and strangle, that wring sound from the fretboard, from behind the bridge.
