TWOPLUSONE presents "Strange Peace" and "Panic Room". A new video and sound installation by artist Stella Whalley and musician Toby Bricheno.

In October 2011,TWOPLUSONE was launched initiated by artist Stella Whalley and musician Toby Bricheno and Steinar Liverud curator.TWOPLUSONE is a non-profit catalyst with a mission to initiate, develop and present collaborative projects between invited artists.A central part of TWOPLUSONE's existence is to actively participate in the changing landscape of visual arts practices in its broadest sense.Furthermore, to position its projects within a wider cultural, social and political framework. For each project,TWOPLUSONE will act as the director, facilitator, curator, producer, fundraiser and administrator.

For the first exhibition in South Kensington Exhibition Rd, TWOPLUSONE presented Strange Peace/Panic Room, a collaborative video /animation and sound installation by Stella Whalley and Toby Bricheno. This work also comprises of multiples in a series of limited editioned digital prints, prints for light-box pieces and a series of neon pieces.

 

InStrange Peace/Panic Room, we explore the relationship between sound and vision; particularly the way they interact and reinforce each other's impact through sonic and visual rhythms and accents.The starting point for the video and sound installation alludes to our mutual interest in Japanese aesthetics and pop culture. we create a complex artistic synthesis which sits on the borderline where reason finds its limits, where the power of ambivalence allows terror and violence to be turned into a spectacle of beauty, sexuality and excitement. Animated drawings are superimposed onto saturated pink cherry blossom, drawings of flowers shatter and morph into cranes and kamikaze airplanes merge into fragments of poems written by two kamikaze pilots run down the screen.
