Michael Colligan pressing white hot metal into dry ice, causing the metal to sing and scream.
Do almost nothing: re-present (unaltered and arranged by chance) silent family home movies handed down to Flo, (Ken’s wife) and follow them with a “teach yourself Yiddish” cassette tape.
ACCESS: SOUND FILE A day-long salon accompanying KYTN focusing on sound art.
Usurper luddite twins’ disabled instruments play a game of pick-up-sticks with the deconstructed horn of a young Derby opponent.
A recreation of one of Gustav Metzger’s celebrated auto destructive performances.
N30 is a massive, dynamic, immersive multi-channel presentation of front-line field recordings from the protest against the WTO in Seattle
A chat, with examples (Zola, H. P. Lovecraft, Hammer Horror), about blackness and the sheer stupid thickness of what has no profundity whatsoever.
Artist Derek Lodge running a specially designed social space, somewhere for conversation, story-telling and interaction.
Each film in this programme celebrates process; the decay of emulsion, the properties of dust and dirt, the manipulation of time. Post the dawn of the digital age, we reflect on our love of the film form, celluloid as an object, a medium and a physical entity.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
Open community meeting to discuss some of the prevalent concerns impacting the ballroom community.
A delicate and detailed walk through the urban and rural landscape around Dundee; a poetic focus on the details found. A performance for 16mm projection and live amplified objects (maybe pine cones, maybe a coke bottle).
