Jandek performing at the Scottish Rite Theatre in Austin, Texas with Juan Garcia, Nick Hennies and Chris Cogburn.
Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?
A performance for projectionist, musicians and audience, which plays with references to Oscar Levant and Gershwin: apparently a series of small doses of chaos.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
An extravagant debauch of plush toys and ritual. Palestine performed a version of Strumming Music, a trance inducing investigation into overtone systems achievable on a Bosendorfer Imperial Piano.
Come for the crip ingenuity; stay for the smooth feels of what it is to be each other’s everything.
A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
Strickland Distribution and Ultra-red give a practical sound workshop bringing together walk participants to discuss the issues raised during the walk
An improvisation that may or may not involve (typical) improvisation.
