Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Saturday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.

Lo-fidelity sheets of parinirvanic mangled tone get driven into oblivion by two longstanding gurus of the Northern England primitivist noise.
Solo performance by Diamanda Galás one of the great artists of the last forty years. Hers is an emotional expressionism of demonic shrieks, operatic falsettos, glottal clicks and diabolical growls.

Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an old underground reservoir in Fife.
Four intimate 45 minute sessions, readings of your political questions – using Tarot, Palmistry, Reiki, Astrology, and Philosophy, and the invented methods of Fake and Political Therapy.
Dworkin asks: What would a non-expressive poetry look like? A poetry of intellect rather than emotion?

Includes: solar flares, insect fireworks, a new film from Ian Helliwell, pulsating glaciers, an apple being eaten alive, sea ravaged stock, crushed blackberries and film that has literally risen from the grave.
An immersive live performance for multiple 16mm film and bass clarinet, taking in the whole gallery, submerging the audience.
