An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
One of the most arresting and unique improvisers in Japan, creating an original and powerful body of free music.
The second in a series of workshops for workers and non-workers who care. What does the sharing of vulnerability entail? Can such a sharing inform progressive social relations?
Beyond time, colorlines, ability, and sexuality, a movement exploration into what it means to see and be seen, how hearing contrast with what is actually being heard.
Three short performances involving social exchange (jumpers, hats, glasses…) and singing (ballads)
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
What would have happened in 1963 if someone from the voguing ball scene going on in Harlem had travelled downtown to perform alongside the early postmoderns at Judson Church?
A simple hands on workshop with micro-radio theorist and pioneer Kogawa.
How do we make the connections between the mutual aid practices of our daily lives and anti-capitalist efforts to dismantle wider systems of exploitation?
Come for the crip ingenuity; stay for the smooth feels of what it is to be each other’s everything.
Ecstatic, scalding and ludicrously heavy, nobody matches Incapacitants for live noise energy. One of the most exhilarating live acts in underground music.
Improvising using nothing so much as the passage of time as his instrument, Basinski creates works of great melancholic depth and fragile beauty.
