Solo performance on bass clarinet, jaw harp & voice by Arrington De Dionyso.
Live ISDN drone performance resonating between Dundee and an empty Montreal Grain Silo.
A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.
Radical transfeminism aims to hold the space for finding relations between the ruins of the everyday. Emerging from the debris, spaces for politics find form as poetics to carry understandings, actions and be/longings.
A panel exploring how to dismantle the master’s house — its material edifices and ideological architecture — and the construction of abolitionist futures in the present.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
Inspired by Delany’s Aye, and Gomorra. A spookily filmic world where asexual bodies live in the contradiction of their unarousable loneliness and desire for intimacy and contact.
Criminal Queers visualises a radical trans/queer struggle against the prison industrial complex, working to abolish the multiple ways our hearts, genders, and desires are confined.
One of the great experimental films. A 60 minute, three part riddle that maybe approximates our intellectual development by moving from imageless words to the recognition of silent images and the learning of simple tasks and finally a serenity and acceptance of death.
Jean-Luc Guionnet will be giving a talk as part of the music department’s ongoing series of colloquia.
Complexly interacting colossal drones by the creator of some of the most legendary yet least heard music of the 70’s.
The first of two workshops that highlight correspondence as a way of working. Somewhere between song, speech, and logistical arrangement, these workshops invite participants to consider care as infrastructure.
