Vanessa Place talks at The Friday Event series at the Glasgow School of Art about her practice as a writer.
Imagery, drawn from what seems like hundreds of different films is overlaid and combined in a promissory rainbow of new meanings and impossible scenarios, with the unsettling feel of daylight shadows.
Bruno’s liberated improvisational approach stretches beyond the lyrical, tough as nails rhythmic bursts and expressive, swinging attack of his drumming.
Take a break and/ or hang in an Open Meet Up in IRL and URL
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
Pitching Fahey inspired, eastern-infused folk vibrations, sad elliptical drones and oracle chants into one kaleidoscopic sound.
Disused railway turning circle at east end of Union Terrace Gardens, a historically public space at the centre of a regeneration land-grab for the private gain of a local petro-chemical magnate.
A mixture of investigation groups, live performances, screenings and installations at DCA; the festival looked to strip back music, sound, film and moving image to their core ideas and explore them with artists and audiences.
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
Can we find ideas of queer anarchism, failure and low theory in popular culture?
A system in which film is projected onto copper strips, captured again and then re-projected as video, somehow transforming the original imagery into molasses-slow, molten and incredibly tactile flickers of colour and light.
