Arika have been creating events since 2001. The Archive is space to share the documentation of our work, over 600 events from the past 20 years. Browse the archive by event, artists and collections, explore using theme pairs, or use the index for a comprehensive overview.
If someone installed something in a space at one of our events; you’ll probably find it grouped here. But also work that is situation sensitive, site specific or determined by a place or space. Check out the durational installation version of De Musicorum Infeliciate that we worked on with Walter Marchetti, Gabriel Bonomo and Esther Ferrer.
