Usurper jamming live in a skip at the site of Bud’s Neill’s Lobey Dosser statue on Woodlands Road.
Like walking through the abstracted amalgamation of 30 or so storms, trays of water shaken by thunder, light bouncing off pools.
A performed reflection on Malin’s previous re-enacting of a super influential landmark of performance art from the French feminist and artist Gina Pane.
A loud, buzzing stew of electrical light as noise and convulsive electric guitar squall.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
Simon Morris is joined by Nick Thurston as they attempt to read aloud whilst peddling on exercise bikes.

A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
The club as a community and a site for performed politics: deep/ queer house, vogue femme, lipsync and ballroom.
UNINSTAL was a set of events at Tramway that tested out radical ideas with leading local and international artists. A collection of events (performances, films, installations, walks and talks) about sound and listening.
