CHARLIE TUESDAY GATES

ARTIST

with a reputation for unique and challenging SCULPTURE, VIDEO & PERFORMANCE ART that confronts, questions and challenges issues of morality, ethics and the very nature of CONTROVERSY itself.

Although she doesn’t classify HERSELF as such, she has been listed as one of the

U.K’s TOP TAXIDERMISTS, instrumental in bringing the new wave of TAXIDERMY into the mainstream.

Her pioneering series ‘D.I.Y Taxidermy LIVE!’ series embraced an entirely new medium of WORKSHOPS and live demonstrations that simply didn’t EXIST before. Evolving from a tongue-in-cheek demonstration in 2009, this BIZARRE mix of performance, improvisation, STORYTELLING, VIDEO, PUPPETRY became a hugely popular and sell out show.

Her video work uses the medium of ‘ANIMALATION’, where Gates animates and DISTORTS dead characters, REAL animals are MANIPULATED by hand to perform, sing and dance.

Gates went on to create ‘SING FOR YOUR LIFE’ a multi AWARD WINNING musical staring DEAD animal puppets. A REVOLUTION in musical theatre confronting the audience with the UNCOMFORTABLE truth of how we purport to CARE about our fellow species, yet are BLINDED and driven to cruelty by NARCISSM and COMMODITY. Sing For Your Life is littered with BLUNT & CRASS puns along with SARDONIC nods to the canon, processes and practices that mock popular culture, tradition and the CULT OF CELEBRITY…

Gates FASHION brand MIND LIKE MAGPIE has had pieces commissioned for BEYONCE and ELTON JOHN and seen on the holy head of CARA DELEVIGNE.

Her artwork has been exhibited in MUSEUM ARNHEM, the cover of DESIGN WEEK, inside THE HUFFINGTON POST, TIME OUT, THE INDEPENDENT, NOTION, CLASH, MIX MAG, BIZARRE MAGAZINE, DAZED AND CONFUSED & VICE. She has worked with DIESEL, BBC FILM, FILM LONDON, FUTURE CINEMA, LOST LECTURES and many more.

Born in DORSET, Gates studied sculpture at CAMBERWELL COLLEGE OF ART. She now lives and works in LONDON.

Miss Moon

emerging

Berlin based,

multidisciplinary

artist.

She expresses herself in the media of COLLAGE, PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEO ART.

She is a graduate ART DIRECTOR and co-founder of the “PLATEAU GALLERY” Berlin and is working as a CURATOR/PRODUCER of a variety of cultural events & exhibitions.

Her HANDMADE collage works CUT stereotypical social concepts, using them to SHIFT the perspective of the observer sometimes processing the images DIGITALLY, depending on the desired result. You can distinguish in her AESTHETICS a clear focal point from where everything grows.

It is inspired by SYMMETRY, FREQUENCY and the BEAUTY of human nature.It opens the view into multidimensional, visual possibilities of the HUMAN BEING. Two elements that build a specific tension and play with preconceptions.

The images are EXTRACTED from old books and so called ‘LIFESTYLE’ magazines.

She is CATCHING fragments, enjoying revealing the beauty of a MOMENT.

HUMOR; COLOR; COMPOSITION; REALITY is inspiring in a surreal universe.

“Life is not about finding one self ,it is about creating one self ”

Marie Klinke born 8-8-1988

Vito has been WRITING and PERFORMING poetry for the best part of a decade. He draws inspiration from social interactions. From amazing poets to random stories he hears from lonely people in QUESTIONABLE bars. His ART is his life, thus he lives both in conjunction. LIFE & ART are inseparable that’s why he takes himself to any EMOTIONAL state he feels is necessary when writing, no matter where that path leads. Recently he has started writing PLAYS and SHORT films. Transferring his skills over to these formats opened a whole new world of expression and ARTISTIC INDULGENCE.

Watch this space for more of his material, ‘sure to make you feel,’ is his slogan.

Influences: “HOWL” By Allen Ginsberg, Stephen King, Stanley Kubrick.

BUBBLECAM is a playful exploration of online streaming and LIVE FEED possibilities. It is a partnership with Mike and Andie, a couple in Florida who set up the online bubble cam in their garden. It consists of an internet controlled bubble machine that can be activated and watched online. People from around the world visit the website to ‘blow bubbles’.

She partners with mike and Andie to create relays of this CAM, furthering the reach of this online request for bubbles. In each of the relay cams the audience are invited to participate in different ways, so as to explore the human impulse and reaction to this simple idea that has been captivating an online audience for over 10 years. Each relay cam explores what it is to be the live audience, the BUBBLE BLOWERS, the button pushers, those making anonymous demands through the internet and those affected by them.

For ONE OF US, the events guests will become the live audience, to discover how it feels to be watched.
