Ian and Gil will host a discussion on the Argument project’s social and political commentaries, and with you try and maybe think through whether and how they might still have some currency today: what’s changed and what’s stayed the same?

This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.

An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
