Chip will read some of his great literary pornography, which pushes sexuality to the point of extremity and exhaustion.
Acting at the minimum. Each film here substitutes one small thing for another, (ironically) transforming received meanings by the simplest of actions; often kind of funny too.
Two bottomless brunch writing workshops—with readings—speculating the relationship between space, infrastructure, technologies and sex.
Trans-temporal drag, sexuality and the re-staging of illegible moments in history.
This closing session will be a space for reflection and feedback. We can discuss ways we can share what we’ve learned and explored with our wider communities. We can talk about if we want to do more sessions and /or projects together.
A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.

Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
Blood Stereo & Ludo Mich: linking past and present generations of DIY intuitive expression in a post fluxus ‘big mess’.
Originally billed as a duo of Ingar Zach and Derek Bailey, John Butcher stood in for Bailey at the last minute.
