about 2faced1.com

2FACED1.com shows one persons two different faces in photos;

Persona 1:
WHAT YOU WANT TO BE
CONSIDERED AS

Persona 2:
WHAT YOU FEAR TO BE
CONSIDERED AS

This leads to a discussion about stereotypes and inner fears of getting misunderstood by the surroundings. Thoughts that every thinking modern day person does reflect upon. We're asking every day people from an innercity context where old categories as ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexuality and class are reassessed, why they choose to look like they do. We’re diggin' deep, peeling off garments, codes and attributes. We’re searching for transnational identities - is the conclusion that we choose whoever we want to be today?!

 

A 2FACED1 STATE OF MIND

A 2FACED1 is highly aware of existing stereotypes related to your own ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexuality and class. You’re trying to avoid them but sometimes also play with them to make people think twice about who you are. Two faced doesn’t mean anything negative here, it explains the double folded view you have on identity if you’re not the existing norm. It means you have the feet in different worlds, can move between them but feel rather at home in that space in between. You've stepped out of your comfort zone and have become one of the new identities where ol' categories are mashed up and rootlessness and non-given identity just means major possibilities.

Adam Neate

Post date Wed 1 Jun 2011 3:16 PM

In times when everybody seems to look at the past for something new and retro is synonymous to fresh, it does feel pretty delightful to see ADAM NEATE's work that isn't looking back. Oh well there are some Surrealism, some Picasso and Francis Bacon in the mix but in a new way, I mean, just to be able to make 3D beautiful is a skill! And it gets better when you hear the whole story; He gave away works to friends, was so productive he instead started leaving them outside the charity shops as a donation. He found out that they were not being sold, instead thrown away with the garbage, which made him leave them in the streets instead, imagine what an open exhibition! During a five year period, Adam Neate left thousands of his works in LDN streets!

"The whole concept of the free art thing was challenging the notion of art as a commodity and its worth in society. Now I’m taking that to another level, testing the viability of separating art from commerce."

Some of his works can be seen along many great things at the ARTHK11 in HONG KONG, read more here.
