Glasgow based artist Defaalt invites the audience to collaborate fully in his performance by means of a generative graphical interface.
A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
Amid the blur of erotics, the jangle of poetics, and the fetishizing of sickness and disability, the heat of Panteha’s performance and sculpture freezes all.
Transfeminist and revolutionary poetry, voice and timbral abstraction: a sounding and spatialising of reparative sonic and somatic practices that can speak back to violent histories of expropriation and ecocide.
For this one off performance Vibracathedral Orchestra are joined by Matthew Bower and John Godbert from mighty UK heavy/drone/psych free-noise behemoths Skullfower, Sunroof! and Total.
Paper Piece: Secrets is a performance for and with the whole audience, using paper, text, secrets, being in the crowd
Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
Michael Colligan pressing white hot metal into dry ice, causing the metal to sing and scream.
A panel exploring the radical potential of technologies through fugitivity and opacity: their ability to obscure, to make it impossible for us to be known, to render us untraceable by every arm of the state even under the all-consuming spectre of surveillance capital.
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
Performances at CCA Glasgow by Keiji Haino, My Cat Is An Alien, Taurpis Tula, Jandek with Richard Youngs and Alex Neilson.
A series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.
