Beck's Fusions
Part Two of the Contemporary Arts Society & Beck's Fusion commission.
The ideal was for artists to work with bands.
Music & Art Fuses together in the perfect union.
I was asked to work with Hercules & Love Affair.
A kitsch pretend disco band /
who had been influenced by the memory of Studio 54 / New York.
All glitz, glam sex and drugs /
I took the brief of engaging with the notion of human unity.
Proposed Human Chromosome Mirror Balls / Suspended over the audience /
Castlefield Arena was to become a disco ball heaven.
The human Chromosome come beautiful sculptural forms.
Employing large polysterian blocs - Carved with a chain saw - shaped with saws and graters - sand paper - coated in Muslin for binding
and then squares of silver sparkly material -
