Guy Sherwin gives a kind of annotated, chat through his optical sound films
Amid the blur of erotics, the jangle of poetics, and the fetishizing of sickness and disability, the heat of Panteha’s performance and sculpture freezes all.
An invitation into languages field of touch; to speak in feeling together.
Post consideration and post rationalisation… How do we think about experimental music and film after the performance?
Originally billed as a duo of Ingar Zach and Derek Bailey, John Butcher stood in for Bailey at the last minute.
Can we find ideas of queer anarchism, failure and low theory in popular culture?
Ken Jacobs chats to Edwin Carels: Edwin is a curator based in Ghent, responsible for some fantastic programmes of experimental film and art at the Rotterdam Film festival (amongst others).
Ecstatic, intensely joyous experimental club music: like “the sound of our water ceremonies…40 bands playing their melodies at once to recreate the cacophony of the first aurora and the call of the morning star Venus”.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.
Beyond time, colorlines, ability, and sexuality, a movement exploration into what it means to see and be seen, how hearing contrast with what is actually being heard.
Multiple images, glimpses of old films, abstract images in the midst of an electro-acoustic sound field of tape loops & analogue synthesizers
