Captures the creak and rustle of the forest, with an exhilarating tension let loose in unconfined maniacal and bare-knuckle group thinking.
Individual experience separated by physical boundaries (of space, time or ability) suggested as communities of collective experience by (perhaps voyeuristic) artists.
Taking a scalpel to the relationship between performer and audience: cutting something out to see what’s left, a drastic subtraction and shift of emphasis.
Paper Piece: Secrets is a performance for and with the whole audience, using paper, text, secrets, being in the crowd
Can we find ideas of queer anarchism, failure and low theory in popular culture?
Dual projections of pulsating shards of film, treated in crystallized salts and dyes merge with the whirring of projectors, distilled into particles of sound.
A confrontational and somehow shamanic stance; introspective silences shattered by savage jabs at the strings, whirlwind strums dying into spartan chords
Come for the crip ingenuity; stay for the smooth feels of what it is to be each other’s everything.
Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
A preposterously heavy, eye of the storm musical tug of war, in which two drummers, electronics and electric guitar fall over each other in a droning crush.
Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
