During October/November the post-Australian sound poetry group Arf Arf will be presenting new work in Europe. The group will explore the combined power of memory and voice to conjure geometric shapes that radiate inwardly, which shrink outwardly- seeking to locate the midpoint between fluidity and tautness to produce harmonic tensions. Disparities and slippages between ‘then’ and ‘now’, language and verbal noise, blind spots and myopic listening will be plundered, extemporized and recast against, or through, various poetical protocols, illegible events and vociferously stretched cadences. Previously the group has presented hundreds of performances, film screenings and other exhibition-like manifestations/initiatives in Australia and Europe. A DVD collection of film works by Arf Arf is currently distributed by Rumpsti Pumsti (Musik) in Berlin. The upcoming tour of Europe will include the launching of two web-publications: Clanguage (Arf Arf ) and Volume SP (Frank Lovece), both are commissioned and presented by Oral Site/ SARMA (Brussels): oralsite.be
