Week 2: Gravity, Gluts, Pennies, Pillows and Ray 6pm 14 January – 5.59pm 18 February 2021 on MattFlix

Gravity, Gluts, Pennies, Pillows and Ray, a 5-week MattFlix retrospective screening of some of my video works.

This week: Cafe Carbon by The Gluts 2009/2013.

The Gluts are Gina Birch, Kaffe Matthews and Hayley Newman. We formed in 2009 to go to the Copenhagen Climate Summit (Cop15) with our song cycle Café Carbon – a menu of 16 songs about global food production, growing your own food, food waste, water shortage and excess, modernity and extinct animals.

Performing with serious absurdism on trains, in cafes and on the Cop15 march, The Gluts offered a musical meal; short and pithy starters, filling main courses, sweet desserts and thirst-quenching drinks, which people could choose from and then consume with their eyes and ears.
