How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
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.
A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.
Artist Derek Lodge running a specially designed social space, somewhere for conversation, story-telling and interaction.
Rare UK performance by legendary Japanese post punk group during their 4 drummers + synth / vocals phase.
A parody of a (Manhattan) road movie and meditation on bifurcation, in paths traveled between the seen and the heard; a road trip played over and over from different perspectives.
Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
Location: Around and about the old public library in Easterhouse; disinvested in and left to rot by the council but which was shamelessly, hastily and superficially cleaned by them in expectation of our event.
Location: between: the abandoned site of Parker House (ex-council office building) that became a student accommodation regeneration project, off the Dudhope roundabout; Bell Street Car Park entrance ramp and; the awkward (and otherwise used/ used otherwise) space left over between the back of Tesco’s and DW Sports on the Murraygate.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
Craig will give a guided reading of his handbook of exemplary instances of literary listening and will be joined by one of the selected authors, Vanessa Place.
