Film and sound stripped of ‘content’ and experienced spatially, to be looked at not on the screen but in the space of the gallery
An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.
TEST is a collective creative improvising quartet based out of the NYC Underground (figuratively and literally). Their street-hardened, spatial Jazz is riotous and intense: is also makes us think about collective organization, and different ideas of responsibility and liberty.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
Our Zooms are unmuted, our mics are open, and our hearts and bodyminds are receptive. We give the floor online and in person to you…
An evening extravaganza celebrating the London launch of Truth & Lies: an Anthology of Writing and Art by Sex Workers
Expect slutty DJs, playful performances, stripper poles, rococo cakes, union broads and intimate readings…
Percussion used to explore the social construction of space
Droner responsible for Fordell Research Unit, Muscletusk’s murk manipulator and Metzian concrete-mixer cement international relations and yr heids.
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
A dismantled, performed film, where a narrator pieces together the sounds, images and storytelling of a documentary about Hurricane Katrina before a live audience.
Paper Piece: Secrets is a performance for and with the whole audience, using paper, text, secrets, being in the crowd
A tour with John Butcher and Akio Suzuki that set out to allow the audience to experience (and to listen to) the enviroment around them in different way.
