LAIBACH: Return of the Repressive (RoTr)
British premiere of the Laibach kunst inhibition "Instrumentality of the State Machine".
This September, England's second city Birmingham will host Laibach for the first time. Birmingham was one of the centres of the industrial revolution and this makes it a highly appropriate venue for the British premiere of the Laibach kunst inhibition "Instrumentality of the State Machine". The inhibition will be staged in the Custard Factory, itself an ex-industrial location in the heart of the city.
It will open on Friday September 1st, and at 8pm Laibach will perform it’s "Concerto for Magnetophone, Gramophone, Radiophone and Megaphone". This is the first British LAIBACH KUNST inhibition and the performance will also be a British premiere.
The event is part of a weekend of events entitled Return of the Repressive (RoTr), organised by the Industrialised Culture Research Network (I.C.R.N.). The Laibach performance will be followed by various electronic acts and DJ’s.
On the Saturday, Sašo Podgoršek’s Divided States of America will receive it’s British premiere as part of an industrial screening evening.
Finally, on Sunday the 3rd, there will be an I.C.R.N. seminar on industrial with guest speakers and a presentation of Alexei Monroe’s Interrogation Machine.
