“Assembly of Disturbance” is a three-day festival that gives voice to dissonance, anger and resistance in Britain in 2017. Curated by Test Department, Aaron James and David Altweger, the festival invites you to consider the intersection of art and activism. Red Gallery and Kamio in Shoreditch host a series of performances, screenings, audio-visual and sound installations, workshops, symposia and DJ sets, including contributions from the world-leading philosopher Timothy Morton, live premieres from Test Dept’s new album “Disturbance”, and “Plus Electrification” – a collaboration between Prolekult (Test Dept and AutoPneumatx) and the art project Disinformation. Alongside “Assembly of Disturbance”, the exhibition “Culture is Not a Luxury” unveils manifestos, documents and artworks from Test Dept’s inception in the 1980s through to the present day. “Assembly of Disturbance” contributors include David Altweger, AutoPneumatx, Kris Canavan, Cara Davies, Disinformation, Angus Farquhar, Fuckhead, Trevor Jackson, Aaron James, Mira Loew, Alexei Monroe, Timothy Morton, Alexander Nym, Alisa Oleva, Mike Pearson, Malcolm Poynter, Nina, Prolekult, Propagate, Puce Mary, Stirn Prumzer, Sagberg, Hannah Sawtell, Rebecca Shatwell, Test Dept, Brett Turnbull, Luke Turner and Peter Webb, and the festival is organised in conjunction with the Austrian Cultural Forum, AV Festival, the Institute of Sonic Art, One Little Indian records, the Quietus, Rice University, the Unit for Sound Practice Research and Vice Media.
