Open Frame Festival Announces More Acts

Room40’s annual Open Frame Festival launches Thursday August 23 at the Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Arts. Pete Swanson (USA – former Yellow Swans) and Tujiko Noriko & Tyme (JPN) come together on a double-bill for an explosive opening to the month-long celebration of esoteric music and media arts.

Newly announced to the program of underground luminaries is a series of three events hosted by Brisbane’s Institute of Modern Arts: ‘Spectral Arrows’, Marco Fusinato’s durational noise performance (September 13); Norwegian power-electronics master Lasse Marhaug (September 27); and an afternoon lecture from composer Alan Licht (October 18).

Finally, the festival is rounded out by a closing showcase from local labels Bedroom Suck Records and Bon Voyage, October 26 at the Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Arts.

The new announcements come as exciting additions to an already stellar festival lineup, including performances from Xiu Xiu (USA), Grouper (USA), Maria Minerva (UK), Benoît Pioulard (USA), High Wolf (FR), and Mist (USA), along with a host of hugely exciting guests.

Tickets are on sale now for another year of momentous Open Frame events, available online and from venues.

Events are presented by Room40, along with supporting partners The Brisbane Powerhouse, The Judith Wright Centre, IMA, SPA, and The Thousands.
