FK Alexander is a performance artist from Scotland whose work is concerned with recovery, wound, aggressive healing, radical wellness and noise music. FK’s work predominantly puts her body at the centre of ritualised, action based, often durational work, in often ridiculous attempts to communicate ideas around new language, new violence and new love. FK firmly believes we are all trying to recover from something or someone.
Okishima Island Tourist Association are transcendental noise duo Lea Cummings (Opaque, Kylie Minoise) and Sarah Glass (GRIMALKIN555, The Fnords). Their work aims to open higher states of consciousness through multi-frequency overload and explosive sonic maximalism.
