Eve Stainton’s newly commissioned film With [the ghosts] is a series of digital collage sci-fi choreographies produced during lockdown. Streamed as part of Block Universe’s Sessions programme, the film is a moving meditation on queer intimacy, grief, heartbreak and acceptance. It contains explicit content, starts at 6pm BST tonight, and will be made available to watch afterwards.

This one-minute video by Clunie Reid, published by Book Works on Vimeo, is a lament to England. A winking emoji loops and glitches to a despairing verse on our current times. You can also view other videos in the same series by artists including Stewart Home and Isabel Waidner.

nGbK Berlin is currently presenting an affectionate portrait of an epoch through the lens of the West Berlin publishing house Merve and its role in Berlin of the 1980s at the intersection of art and theory. This was a place from which to think together and work outwards – a good reminder that not all relationships are ‘networks’.

Track of the Day


Ain’t got no mother, ain’t got no culture
Ain’t got no friends, ain’t got no schoolin’
Ain’t got no love, ain’t got no name
Ain’t got no ticket, ain’t got no token
Ain’t got no god

Hey, what have I got?
Why am I alive, anyway?
Yeah, what have I got
Nobody can take away?
