Interzone Again

Not a single new word to the last time I mentioned this, but looking up all those webpages took me ages. I did the research so you don't have to....
I N T E R Z O N E

FRIDAY 1ST MARCH / 6PM - 1AM / THE WHISKY BOND

EXHIBITION CONTINUES: SATURDAY 2ND, SUNDAY 3RD / 2-6pm

The Whisky Bond hosts “INTERZONE”, a weekend of art, music and happenings exploring the boundaries of perception through synaesthesic installations of sound, light, video and performance, transforming the industrial shell of the 5th floor into a multi-sensory immersive environment of electric surrealism.

“INTERZONE”, will take the form of an expanded audio-visual experience presenting individual artworks as a syncretic entity. The space will become an artwork in itself allowing the viewer to enter and interact, navigating through the altered labyrinth of The Whisky Bond's untouched 5th floor.

ARTISTS:

AILSA M. MACKENZIE

ALEC MACKENZIE
ALICE JACOBS
Works with light as an intervention into architectural spaces. Devoid of image, the work attempts to show nothing, yet achieves something as a result.
BRENDAN BENNETT
EWAN SINCLAIR
GUY VEALE
JACK WRIGLEY 
A multi-media artist whose work has taken the form of Holography, concrete composition, installation and mechanical high voltage electrical sculpture. Seeking to explicate a re-integration of the unconscious into the conscious, through experimentation and craft.
JOHN CROMAR
He was in opaque for a bit with Lea Cummings out of
KOVOROX AKTION GROUP 
an artist and musician, best known for his noise alias Kylie Minoise, garnering a considerable reputation for his loud, confrontational Live Aktions which are often brief and invariably culminate in broken microphones and, occasionally, in personal injury.
RACHEL MACLEAN
Future Turner Prize winner Maclean is a digital and video artist creating hyper-glowing, artificially saturated visions that are both nauseatingly positive and cheerfully grotesque, like the collective unconscious after it has been purchased by pokemon and turned into a theme park for psychedelic explorers.
ROBBIE THOMSON
An artist who works with kinetic sculpture, sound and installation that has gained much acclaim after his recent sell-out show at Soncia festival with his machine powered, theatrical installation at the Tramway.
SUSANNAH STARK 
TOM L. COLLINS
GUY VEALE 
A sound designer and drone merchant responsible for a variety of soundtracks to short films and physical theatre shows, as well as a smattering of performances and installations. 

JAMES STEPHEN WRIGHT 
Creates humorous durational performance that delve into dystopian ideals of a not too distant future vomiting the surreal and obscure side of everyday life and culture. 

SARAH MESSENGER
A video artist that takes inspiration from internet communication and sits in tumblr all day.



LIVE MUSIC:


ELIZABETH VELDON

Elizabeth Veldon is a noise artist working mainly with samples, feedback and sine waves. Her work focuses on landscape, myth and issues of queer and feminist theory. She considers her music to be a form of activism. Elizabeth began publishing her music online a year and a half ago, and since has appeared on several labels.
FLACCID HAUS
New collaboration between Rickie McNeill (Cru Servers/Fox Gut Daata) and Lewis Cook (The Cosmic Dead/Mother Ganga) improvised all-hardware electronic dance music for the mind and soul. 
MARK MAXWELL (DJ)
A regular contributor to This Is Our House?, Mark was a resident at Fortified Sessions in Glasgow and Lo Recordings Lo Quality in London and spent time working on John Peel’s legendary radio show.
SHIP CANAL
Ship Canal is Daniel Baker. "Music For Burning Kebab Houses. Ghost Shops. Flash Mob Rioters with Rabies. Asbocore." (Kid Shirt). Dole noise. Psychic damage-tech. "The grey concrete crunch of bastard techno and mangled dubstep and seventies TV filtered through damp plasterboard walls.” (Cows Are Just Food).
SMEAR CAMPAIGN
Link may not be the right band, but the title is funny enough.
Amid documenting the UK's drone/weirdo/nether region underground with CD-r/tape label, Total Vermin, Stuart Arnot also performs, records and collaborates under a number of guises such as Acrid Lactations, Mid-Leopard Violet Prism and The Game Cock. Stuart will be preforming at Interzone under his solo huise Smear Campaign.
STEFAN BLOMIER
Interested as much in the work of early ambient synthesists as raw acid house tracks, Stefan's material is hypnotic, melodic and especially dynamic in a live setting.

INTERZONE is being organised by Diane Edwards and Kenny Love with support from The Whisky Bond.

Named after Uncle Bill's Market

There's a weekend of fun not too far away. I like it because the name, Interzone, comes from William Burrough's dystopia future market - sometimes seen as a description of the internet before it existed, although with added sexy young men and dangerous weapons. Other people will enjoy the line up of artists and the promise of  "exploring the boundaries of perception through synaesthesic installations of sound, light, video and performance."
It is at The Whisky Bond and stars a cast that includes Rachel MacLean, fresh from her stand out film at Entre Chien et Loup, mayhem inducing Jack Wrigley and The Korovox Action Group (I bet that's something to do with noise artist Lea Cummings, one of the most vigorous performers in Scotland and a thoroughly charming man). The Bond itself is an old warehouse that is gradually being transformed into studios, and this all action spectacular is going to happen on the fifth floor, which isn't being used at the moment.

At the least, it is a chance to see a space that has been hidden away,  a vestige of industrial Glasgow before it gets all done up pretty, like.
