Chip will read some of his great literary pornography, which pushes sexuality to the point of extremity and exhaustion.
Jandek’s second ever live performance, and the first to be advertised in advance.
A double bill of A (imageless) film of nothing but a sound recording and its transcription and a found film of news interviews about Malcolm X’s assasination, where the filmmaker decided to add nothing to it, except our attention.
Location: Around and about the old public library in Easterhouse; disinvested in and left to rot by the council but which was shamelessly, hastily and superficially cleaned by them in expectation of our event.
A kind of performed installation of searing noise and silence, where we’re not sure who the performer is, when it starts or ends or even who it’s for.

Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
Since the 1960’s Oliverios has had a profound influence on generations of musicians through her work with myth and ritual, improvisation and meditation.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Friday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
Imagery, drawn from what seems like hundreds of different films is overlaid and combined in a promissory rainbow of new meanings and impossible scenarios, with the unsettling feel of daylight shadows.
