PERFORMANCES BY ACTUALLY WITH SPECIAL GUEST CODY CRITCHELOE (SSION) & HOUSE OF LA DOSHA!
ARRIVE ON TIME, SPACE IS LIMITED
1:1 is proud to present SOFTROCK, a cycle of short videos by the collaborative duo Actually Huizenga and Socrates Mitsios. SOFTROCK brings the hyper-aesthetic bacchanalia of Flaming Creatures into the early 21st century. Their saturated, highly pixilated videos and elaborate layering produce a haptic glamour. In the artists terms, this work attempt to: “present the ritual of relationships. But these relationships grow through increasingly ominous and chaotic sexual encounters. Pain is a constant threat, but it will always be offered to the viewer as decorative and fashionable entertainment, shamelessly pleasing to the eye.” Through a mixture of jagged cutting and melodic soundtrack SOFTROCK creates is own distinct form of televisual-Rococo -- turning generations of media-saturated sex into an atmospheric synthesis.
