Chicks On Speed and guests

Tue, 03.05.2016
8:00 PM Cafe OTO

Globetrotting performance, art, music, fashion and new-media provocateurs, Chicks on Speed (Alex Murray-Leslie and Melissa Logan) are multidisciplinary workers in the field of culture. Their songs lie at the cutting edges of activism and media-pop-art, where the digital world embraces the handmade, rough and spontaneous, interlacing the programmed, the multilayered and delicious data scapes, where sloganeering leads us through to time rippling via a stop in their self-made utopia and the strobe light stays on. The writer Douglas Coupland describes them as living in a post-Koonsian world with a curated 21st-century lifestyle, where everything is art and everyone can be an artist and even non-art is art by default: a readymade!

Get prepared and dance, dance, dance!
 

For this performance, they are collaborating with UK artists in a performance with freshly written music and movement-controlled sonic devices. The collective collect and build layers of sound and beats, making performance part of the composition process. 

The Goethe-Institut London supports the concert as well as the residency.

Dress code: dancing shoes.
