Nina’s going to talk about November, by Hito Steyerl: what and how the film thinks, or about what and how it might makes us think (which is connected, but not the same thing), by watching, and it discussing (with you?).
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
Radu plays a trombone, Klaus creates pure sine waves: they sound on their own, or sometimes together and often with considerable space and silence.
A performed lecture concerned with Renaissance occult (musical) thinkers of the cosmic who put forward the notion of the “disharmony of the world”
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
A performed filmic conversation on queer and black world making.
This mini, late-night ball will include categories inspired by the events earlier in the weekend.
Freak-out group for the 21st century perform a live soundtrack to Ira Cohen’s infamous psychedelic masterpiece ‘The Invasion of Thunderbolt Pagoda’
A black hole of dense heaviosity, full of slow motion riffage, tectonic pummel and massive planet destroying rock.
Reading their letters to each other, and chatting about prefigurative politics as the practice of relentlessly building worlds through unspeakable violence and loss; of building worlds and living in them anyway.
Beat poet Ira Cohen’s now infamous and wildly psychedelic film odyssey feeds one’s own seeing apparatus through beautifully warped and distorting mylar mirrors, resulting in a film dense and rich with visual arcana and poetry.
A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
