Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
Everyday objects and materials (rubber bands, paper, a sink, microphones) disabused of their inertia and made to speak for themselves in a kind of focusing in on the tiny, repetitive, almost unobserved (sonic/ visual) potential of everyday things put into motion.
A public walk from George Square to the Barras market bringing contributions from researchers, activists and artists in a form of live critical praxis
Conceptual writer and practicing lawyer Vanessa Place performs and talks with Mark Sanders, author of the brilliant “Complicities: The Intellectual and Apartheid”
Talk charting the radical history of experimental music in Japan + the lowdown into the careers of many of the artists appearing at MLFC.
A performative survey of listening, as we managed to find it being used as a tool in different practices, disciplines and communities in North America (music, poetry, film, philosophy, activism…).
Dworkin asks: What would a non-expressive poetry look like? A poetry of intellect rather than emotion?
A multi-media harp and spoken word tribute to the incalculable, the in-deducible, the suspicious static noise that accompanies the voice of truth, and the attempted aberrations in the domain of emergence.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a large multi chambered industrial ice house.
Is it possible to dance our way out of the hardened stances and identity prisons we are locked in?
Jumping off from Sun Ra’s thoughts on evil, and the Alien films, this performance will explore how the sociality Sondra wants to visualise and participate in has no interest in respectability.
A Festival supporting the struggle for Sex Workers’ Rights: share knowledge, discuss, dance and strategise!
