Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an abandoned oil tanker on Hoy.
The Echo project is an installation as audio guide for a crowd. And at the same time it’s a private conversation: with you, as one of 20 people in a room, a sort of public intimacy.
Long Stringed Instrument performance involving up to 100 wires strung in tension over a 40m arch.
Recently rediscovered but still very pertinent, Kino Beleške presents a series of speech acts and performative gestures by protagonists of the new artistic practice in former Yugoslavia: each a personal take on the role of art in society.
