A Proper Horrorshow
14.09.07 - 28.09.07
Featuring Roxy Topia and Oliver Braid
Mid September 2007, Red Wire finally got to show Roxy Topia and Oliver Braid's nightmarish horrorshow.
The opening night was alive with performances, the first polarizing the audience on either side of the gallery, as African influenced alien being shot liquid across the center of the gallery, with anyone brave enough to risk the trip to the bar being gunned down. The late night performance, which only took place around midnight had a blackened gallery, lit only by Roxy's bike light shon on Oliver's singing Russian operatics, of course with cake shaped hat.
Another work Sleep of Goldberg (above) presented the audience with a scaled model of an imaginary show space and a map (to guide) – alluding to and referencing the recent exhibition ‘Sleep of Ulro’ constructed by prominent Polish artist Goshka Macuga at A Foundation on Greenland Street for the 2006 Biennial. This model will be an accessible investigation and exploration into the popularHollywood figure and now radio star, Whoopi Goldberg.
The Extinction of names (above left) focused on names now seen as unpopular due to an infamous person- Myra (Hindley) Jade (Goody) and Adolf (obviously Hitler), whose names have all plummeted in popularity.
