Two bottomless brunch writing workshops—with readings—speculating the relationship between space, infrastructure, technologies and sex.
A kind of performed installation of searing noise and silence, where we’re not sure who the performer is, when it starts or ends or even who it’s for.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
Dworkin asks: What would a non-expressive poetry look like? A poetry of intellect rather than emotion?
How do communities practice being one another’s means, addressing their material problems facing them replicating the state’s violent logic of who is disposable.
How does this practice, that simultaneously resists and honours the distinctions between these genres, materials and senses, determine the inhabitation of another: a convergence of aesthetic and social experimentation?
Terry is one of the most entertaining and unpredictable musicians in the London free improvising music scene. Rhodri Davies extends his instrument under a battery of techniques creating sound colours and textures quite alien to the harp.
Complexly interacting colossal drones by the creator of some of the most legendary yet least heard music of the 70’s.
Birthed from the collective stagger in global consciousness of the late 50’s and 60’s, this programme celebrates epochal, groundbreaking films that all address sound in their own way and that have opened pathways to experimentation.
Performances at Anthology Film Archives NY by Jandek, Loren Mazzacane Connors & Alan Licht, and MV & EE.
A kind of audience activating, structured film guessing game in the manipulation of time, sound and image. “At 11:15, weiners. At 21:05, pornography. At 23:30, a duet. Watch the Clock.”
Noise music for the eyes: projectors turned into instruments, B&W film loops into a thrumming riot of colour, motion and sound.
