Since 1997, over 200 sessions of stray images and sound have been organised. Artists, writers, scientists and musicians present work in progress, experiment or present work that doesn't fit into their oeuvre (yet). A specific and unique stage for diverse and hybrid works which don't fit comfortably into galleries or museums.

Try Again Better
Sonja plays a speech of Mao on culture before she introduces us to British composer Cornelius Cardew (1936 – 1981). He was among the most influential musicians and, perhaps, “political activists” of the 20th century. Sonja draws attention to the very strands that lead from the composer’s work right into the heart of Albania. None of his works has ever been performed in Albania. Sonja attempts to shed light onto this intrinsic relationship between Albania and the pivotal composer’s work by having an orkestra play his music 30 years later.
