Witness a one-off interval entertainment in the form of deviant deck activities. Kirsten Reynolds, a founder member of PROJECT DARK, more familiar with spark-generating discs and exploding, rocket-powered record players takes the vinyl for a spin with conceptual Blu Tack sculptors and DJs Jake and Dinos Chapman. Black vinyl discs from the extensive WIRE archive form the raw material for Reynolds and the Chapmans for 20 minutes of sonic sculpting and audio manipulation. No ice creams in this intermission. PROJECT DARK will play at the 'Turnament' DJ and turntable event alongside John Peel, Kool Herc and John Oswald, amongst others, on 12 July 2003 UCLA, Los Angeles, USA. WIRE recorded their first album Pink Flag in 1977, and it has become one of the seminal art punk records of the 70's. Since their inception, WIRE's work has been defined by an inability to stand still, through punk, psychedelia and various twisted pop and experimental electronica. Performed for the first time ever in its entirety by WIRE, who better to tackle the presentation of the art-punk icon Pink Flag, than contemporary visual artists Jake & Dinos Chapman, who make their theatrical design debut. The Chapman Brothers shot to fame with their first solo exhibition in 1996, creating the renowned mutant child mannequins that encapsulated themes of innocence and moral boundaries. send is WIRE's latest work on the Pinkflag label, performed with stage direction and design by Es Devlin, who has been described as a poet of "light and sound". PROJECT DARK release a CD album ‘Gramophone De Luxe’ on the Phono Erotic label in June 2003. This CD release will be available internationally from posteverything.com. ----------------------------------------
