Liquid Architecture, Institute of Modern Art and 4ZZZ present LA2015: Brisbane….
Liquid Architecture’s 2015 Brisbane program unfolds over two evenings in various spaces at the IMA, and features a selection of international and Australian artists performing and presenting in Brisbane for the first time.
The program extends a set of recurring themes that mark Liquid Architecture’s broader 2015 activities: Capitalist Surrealism’s peculiar fantasies of productivism, Feminist Methodologies and the idea of sound as an acoustic mirror for society; and Sonic Warfare as an expression of the pervasiveness of state-corporate eavesdropping, and noise.

5pm-9pm
Nicola Morton, Dr. James Parker, New Waver, Jennifer Walshe, Ragtime Frank.
Brisbane artist Nicola Morton will try to engage her doppleganger, technology entrepreneur Ariel Garten, in a battery of psychic tests to “see if she can ‘sense’ what I am thinking.” Melbourne scholar Dr. James Parker will survey the privileged landscapes and material technics of sonic warfare; the iconic New Waver will appropriate classic rock songs in an examination of the trials and tribulations of contemporary life, to the art of Powerpoint; Irish Dadaist Jennifer Walshe will operatically sing the internet; and Brisbane true believer Ragtime Frank brings it all home.
Sunday October 4 2015
5pm-9pm
Kraus, Anja Kanngieser & Daniel Jenatsch, Richard Dawson, Basic House, Alrey Batol.
Mysterious Kiwi outsider Kraus will abuse a home-made synthesizer while scholar Anja Kanngieser & musician Daniel Jenatsch will sonically perform the effects of capitalist production and social relations on ecology; British folk artist Richard Dawson will belt out songs of dreams held dear and worlds unknown; techno-maverick Basic House will undo dance-music for its own good; while Brisbane artist Alrey Batol eavesdrops on the whole scene.
