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.
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 life force of ecstatic clarity capable of loquacious bursts of affirmation.
A spectacular musical show which discusses the representation of a nation state, its characters and history. A learning play on myth construction and its reproduction.
A loud, buzzing stew of electrical light as noise and convulsive electric guitar squall.
An LSD trip gone right via dense explorations of post-Fahey steel and low level drone.
A dense materialist experience at the limits of contemporary computer music, drawing on Korean Shamanism and Communism; striving to create a strange new vibration to the world that seems to contain the seed of everything.
A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
An excavation of the 1805 Lock Hospital in Glasgow. Its official function was to support ‘unfortunate females with venereal disease’, but really what happened was that women and girls were marched in, experimented on, and often never released.
Complexly interacting colossal drones by the creator of some of the most legendary yet least heard music of the 70’s.
An invitation into languages field of touch; to speak in feeling together.
Live ISDN drone performance resonating between Dundee and an empty Montreal Grain Silo.
Performance of a Sudoko based graphic score giving rise to a process of self cancellation.
