Shows, Presentations and Workshops:



Expanded Improvisation Workshop:

We would like to invite you to a session based on the format of Eddie Prévost's London Improvisation Workshop. The workshop uses a simple format, in which we sit in a circle and rotate around the circle in duos. We spend most of the time listening, rather than playing, and when we play, we try to find new ways to make sound. For this version of the workshop, we would like to expand the format so that anyone can bring anything they like to the circle. This does not necessarily have to be musical: it could be a problem, a suggestion, a political concern, something practical, or anything else you would like to bring from the outside in.
David Grundy & Mattin

Monday 6th January 2025, 6pm to 9pm

Bio:
Mattin is an artist, musician and theorist working conceptually with noise and improvisation. Through his practice, writing and pedagogy, he explores performative forms of estrangement as a way to deal with structural alienation. Mattin has exhibited and toured worldwide. He has performed in festivals such as Performa (NYC), Shanghai Biennial, No Fun (NYC), Club Transmediale (Berlin), Arika (Glasgow), Sonic Protest (Paris) and lectured and taught in institutions such as Dutch Art Institute, Cal Arts, Bard College, Paris VIII, Princeton University and Goldsmiths College. In 2017, he completed a Ph.D. at the University of the Basque Country under the supervision of the philosopher Ray Brassier. Along with Anthony Iles he edited the book Noise & Capitalism (Kritika/Arteleku 2009). In 2012, CAC Brétigny and Tuamaturgia published Unconsitituted Praxis, a book collecting his writing, interviews, and performance reviews. Anthony Iles and Mattin are currently in the final stages of editing the volume Abolishing Capitalist Totality: What is To Be Done Under Real Subsumption? (Archive Books). Urbanomic published his book Social Dissonance in 2022. Mattin is part of the bands Billy Bao, Regler and Al Karpenter and has over 100 releases in different labels worldwide. Since 2020, he co-hosts the podcast Social Discipline with Miguel Prado.
