A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
A delicate and detailed walk through the urban and rural landscape around Dundee; a poetic focus on the details found. A performance for 16mm projection and live amplified objects (maybe pine cones, maybe a coke bottle).
Umeda is a Japanese artist who is as fascinated in setting up interesting situations to observe, as he is in creating performances.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
Three different performances variously featuring: Fritz Welch, loud drums, guitar, local collaborators, paper, memories, Roland Barthes, string quartets
Seven women recite monologues composed from texts from the vibrant years of the Weimar Republic. A kind of cultural echo: an experience of histories brought to the present.
A saxophone. Handheld fans. Shrill squeaks. Splutters, gargling. An incredible diversity of sounds, intensely focused by an inventive musician.
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
Is it possible to dance our way out of the hardened stances and identity prisons we are locked in?
A performed self-cancelling discussion, with artists from the festival, invited speakers and local artists talking at once, over each other, or straining to be heard over the din.
Transfeminist, communist, revolutionary poetry that refuses to flinch. Nat Raha presents new work in the nine.
Film and sound stripped of ‘content’ and experienced spatially, to be looked at not on the screen but in the space of the gallery
