Contents 1 Background 2 Name 3 PostPunkPaganPop 4 LostLustLast 5 Body Sound Image 6 Multiple Identities 7 Playlist[21] 8 External links 9 Notes and references Background thefucKINGFUCKS are an Open source Artist collective strongly influenced by the ideas and theories of the Acéphale group of Georges Bataille from the 1930s.[8] The collective functions within a more experimental based esoteric research group and an exoteric Performance Art and music group. Secretive research into the history and nature of rituals, rites, initiation, sacred sexuality and Magick is then translated into the public, more popular languages of performance, art, music, dance or installation. Following the Acéphale model, there is a complete rejection of any form of social and political hierarchy and the group opposes any authoritarian form of leadership in terms of both their structure and their production. The operative members change even though the core has remained fixed since its inception in 2003. The group rejects the divisions that exist today between the different art forms[8] and instead insist on working simultaneously in the worlds of dance, music and the visual arts. Frequently the collective presents their Performances or actions alongside their official more famous productions. For instance "PostPunkPaganPop" was the title of a solo exhibition by Kendell Geers at the Depuryluxemburg Gallery in Zurich in June 2008. At the opening he presented a performance with the same name as "thefucKINFUCKS" [9] It was also the title for a performance by thefucKINGFUCKS presented at the Cimatics V.J. Festival in Brussels in 2007 [10] and the S.M.A.K. Museum in Gent [11] Name The group decided on the name thefucKINGFUCKS since the word FUCK remains forbidden on most television channels and especially on MTV, to which the group is generally opposed.[12] They selected the name "thefucKINGFUCKS" (a line in the David Lynch film Blue Velvet [13]) in order to preclude assimilation into mainstream media.[12] PostPunkPaganPop The term PostPunkPaganPop has been used by Geers to describe both his own work and that of thefucKINGFUCKS.[12] Post-punk defines an attitude as a musical genre, whereas pagan defines the groups interest in rites, rituals and the question of faith. The public face of the group maintains the Pop centred style of music that Codenys became famous for in the 1980s. LostLustLast On the 26 June 2008 Kendell Geers and Ilse Ghekiere presented their collaborative work in an installation at the Royal Monceau "Demolition Party" [14] in Paris.[15] The installation called "LostLustLast" was "an orgy of ink that resembled the scene of a crime of passion" [16] The pair worked in situ for a week, using the body to imprint images upon the walls, floor and bed. Body Sound Image The performances are an audio-visual-sensory-experience. In the 1980s Patrick Codenys used the terms Electronic body music to describe the music of Front 242. A generation later Kendell Geers defines his art as a "Panaesthetik",[17] a term that attempts to describe an all-encompassing notion of aesthetics. Together with Ilse Ghekiere, their performances are sensory overload in which the senses of hearing, seeing, smalling, even touching are all pushed to their limits. The razorblade installations of Geers are the backdrop to the grinding electronic body music rhythms and beats of Codenys and the erotic female body in trance of Ghekiere is the key to unlocking the mystery. As a reflection of their interest in the dark arts, the sounds tend to hang in the extreme low sub base area and heard in the pit of your stomach more than the ears.[18] Multiple Identities Since 2004 thefucKINFUCKS have performed under the names "Red Sniper, Firewire, Akephale, Kissing Kousins, USB2, PostPunkPaganPop, S338 and Suite 338. The number 338 is frequently used by the group as a reference to the group Front 242 because United Nations Resolution 338 [19] is the annex to Resolution 242.[20] Playlist[21] 2008 POSTPUNKPAGANPOP, DePuryLxuemburg Gallery, Zurich, Switzerland LostLustLast, Royal Monceau Hotel, Paris, France A Spy in the House of Love, OPA, Guadalajara, Mexico Smoking, MARCO, Vigo, Spain 2007 CIMATIC/07AV/FestivalBrussels International Festival for Live Audiovisual Art&VJing, Beursschouwburg,Brussels, Belgium 50 Jaar Vrienden V/H Smak, Ghent, Belgium 10 DAYS OFF, Vooruit, Ghent, Belgium Biennale Charleroi danse, BPS22, Charleroi, Belgium 2006 Playlist, Palais de Tokyo, Paris, France 2005 Cultuurcentrum Evergem, Belgium Les Grands Spectacles - 120 Jahre Kunst und Massenkultur, Museum der Moderne Salzburg, Mönchsberg, Austria Elektra Festival, Montréal, Canada Strange, Familiar and Unforgotten, Galerie Erna Hécey, Brussels, Belgium Dans le Collimateur, Dieppe Scene Nationale, Dieppe, France 2004 Criminal Brides, Buda, Kortijk, Belgium Videozone, Center for Contemporary Art, Tel Aviv, Israel Playlist, Palais de Tokyo, Paris, France Opera Video, Galleria Continua, San Gimignano, Italy 2003 Rhythm and Chaos,Transart 03, Bolzano, Italy Rhythm and Chaos, Beaulieu Art Gallery, Oudenaarde, Belgium 10 Guests, curated by Luk van Acker, Handelsbeursgebouw,Ghent, Belgium Guided by Heroes, curated by Raf Simons, Z33, Hasselt, Belgium Prototype, Centre Pompidou, Paris External links Official Kendell Geers Website Official FRONT 242 website POSTPUNKPAGANPOP Performance Presented at Depuryluxemburg Gallery, Zurich Demolition Party, Royal Monceau Hotel, Paris, 26 June 2008 Notes and references ^ Sinfonia Eroica / Charleroi Danses 2007 ^ Centre Pompidou - Red Sniper - Art culture musée expositions cinémas conférences débats spectacles concerts ^ A R T T H R O B / Sue Williamson'S Diary ^ Montreal Mirror : Cover : Music: Elektra festival ^ KKunst.com - - Guests - Internettijdschrift voor Vlaamse en Nederlandse podiumkunsten ^ www.kunstonline.info | levelOne | events | nr.4.02. guided by heroes ^ 10 Days Off | Line-up ^ a b De Bom onder het artistieke establishment, Gonzo, pp.18-21, #81, July–August, Belgium ^ de Pury & Luxembourg ^ Cimatics\07AV\Festival - Program - Saturday ^ reilstad kom » Vi drar til Brussel (romantisk weekend) - skal se thefucKINGFUCKS med “postpunkpaganpop” (alias Kendell Geers-performance) 24 nov ^ a b c Cut the Krap, an interview with Kendell Geers by Jérôme Sans, pp.146-167, N.10, 00 People Uovo Magazines, Italy ^ Blue Velvet (1986) - Memorable quotes ^ AFP: Au Royal Monceau, les VIP se délectent à détruire les murs à coups de masse ^ DeZona - News Comments ^ Ingrid Brochard, BeContemporary Magazine, Paris, July 2008 ^ On the Encoded Strategies of Revolution, by Ines Gebetsroither, Spike, pp.62-70, Vienna ^ [Pop-Rock.com, le site de la pop et du rock des années 80 à nos jours] ^ United Nations Security Council Resolution 338 ^ "United Nations Security Council Resolution 242 ^ http://www.yvon-lambert.com/artists/bio_pdf/ke_geers_bio.pdf
