Assassin’s Creed with Faisal Devji | The recent attempted assassination of Donald Trump is considered by Faisal Devji both historically and as part of a political culture where such attempts present more frequently than anywhere else in the world. The American culture of gun worship and widespread gun ownership and mass shootings is well documented, but now more than ever, power and politics are conditioned by the culture of the spectacle, and spectacularity trumps even guns.

Episode 11 of Here is Where we Meet with Janet Cardiff & George Bures Miller out now!
Best-known for their ground-breaking audio and video walks and multi-media sound installations, Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller created one of their most memorable works, The Missing Voice (Case Study B), for Artangel in 1999. Part detective story, part psycho-geographical expedition, the soundtrack was experienced through headphones whilst walking the streets of Whitechapel in East London. They talk with James Lingwood and Michael Morris about making The Missing Voice and explore installations inspired the music of Thomas Tallis and Leonard Cohen, and the pleasures and challenges of living and making their art together.

Episode 10 of Here is Where we Meet with artist and composer Heiner Goebbels. Goebbels describes his mechanised installation ‘Stifter’s Dinge’, made in collaboration with Artangel in 2008, as “a composition for five pianos without pianists, a play with no actors, a performance without performers”. Adalbert Stifter was a 19th-century Austrian landscape writer known for his obsessive descriptions of the natural world, ‘Stifter’s Dinge’ was an invitation for audiences to experience many different landscapes and weather systems intercut with fragments of recorded text from Malcolm X, William S. Burroughs and anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss. Heiner Goebbels joins Michael Morris and James Lingwood to discuss ‘Stifter’s Dinge’, and his later Artangel collaboration ‘Everything that happened and would happen’ which commemorated 100 years since the end of the First World War in 2018 with performances in Manchester, New York and St Petersburg.
