organized by s p e c t e r . c o l l e c t i v e
The s p e c t e r . c o l l e c t i v e . loves the liminal and jagged; dream emissions against time; the body as both a signscape and the flesh of feeling. The s p e c t e r . c o l l e c t i v e . is borderless, no one in particular, no demands to identify and with absolutely no affinity for authority. We are words, tones, sounds, movement, dramas, thoughts and everything outside and in between and especially that which has been casually forgotten or banished.

DORA BLEU + KATT HERNANDEZ
With echoing acoustic guitar and storytelling, Dora explores the psychic emissions of the imperialist war State. Neither fully composed nor improvisational, in narrative time, twisting bent notes trace the vulnerabilities and inneness of the internalized State. Her new and forthcoming releases are as a trio with Cedrik Fermont and Periklis Tsoukalas. In the past she has worked with many artists including Marc Ribot and Sam Shalabi. " [In] the longform narrative structures Geller weaves...the overall mood is malevolent and dark..a sound as comforting as the creak of a noose held tight by a twisting corpse." The Wire

p o e s i . f y s i k. . . . realized exhibitions for destruction, deconstruction, image transformations, coverings, sound installations . . . occupied buildings for art actions . . . he uses misappropriated objects, spatial- and body sounds for irregular situational happenings and is currently working on the interrelation of cognition - action - sound, or physical action and gestures as a compositional impulse for a sound event . . The impulse that emanates from the unexpected is his stimulus.
