We are proud to welcome Irish artist Emma Haugh.
The artist will present a selection of works from BERGHAIN next Friday December the 7th and will run throughout December/January.
“Techno is architectural; its form is hard and structured. The relentless, persistent repetition of techno re-flects the urban environment… grids… blocks…divisions and unifications. Bodies are organised, amalgamated and divided through the sound and rhythm. Topless men lock themselves into a driving insistent formation, shoulders lead the rest of the body, feet drawing a geometric pattern on the two foot squared space claimed on the dancefloor. Torsos, shoulders, stomachs and arms are tense, falling into an endless bounce from one sharp beat to another. There is an unspoken code of behavior…anything is allowed as long as the rules are noted.”
‘Notes on Techno – Dec 2010’
“Working with constructed photographic images, sculpture, text, installation and theatrical devices there is a layering of performativity and documentation in my working process. Work to date incorporates a curiosity about the language of the body and primal drives in relation to the built urban environment. Altered states and contemporary rites of passage continue to inform visual investigations. Recent work references the aesthetics and mythology of club culture and is consciously undertaken and presented from a queer perspective.” – Emma Haugh Opening will start at 7pm and KOOL THING will be deejaying.
