Can we find ideas of queer anarchism, failure and low theory in popular culture?
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
Black Boned Angel’s is a rock sound, stripped of all extraneous detail right down to its core, stretched out and nailed to the ceiling.

UNINSTAL was a set of events at Tramway that tested out radical ideas with leading local and international artists. A collection of events (performances, films, installations, walks and talks) about sound and listening.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
