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, color, nationality, gender, sexual orientation 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. Self awareness is a gift, because it also helps you to understand other peoples situations better. To be a 2FACED1 is to have the feet in different worlds, be able to move between them but feel rather at home in that space in between. You've stepped out of your comfort zone and has become one of the new identities where ol' categories are mashed up and rootlessness and non-given identity just means major possibilities.

When we were thirteen, we only needed two things in life. Horses and Billy's Pan Pizza. Then we got old and forgot both what we needed and wanted. Spent the rest of our lives defining what we didn't wanted or needed instead. And then we died. Without having learned what we actually wanted. Cuz while we thought it had to be something more than this, it was just horses and Billy's Pan Pizza all the time.

When i told that to this person/acquaintance/guy he ignored it and proceeded to tell me he had a cat

I've finally got hold of a copy of latest Rodeo magazine after using the ones I got at the release party as megaphones to organize an after party. And I guess you already know, but if you somehow haven't got it; 2FACED1 run that shiet.

THE CAFE SECT AND CULTIVATED STEREOTYPES

GOSH, the libary was closed and I can't work in my studio today so now I'm sitting in a Café on South Side and I'm totally scared to death. I've been scared of this Café sect forever (read: Yngves-tiden om du är från LKPG) and now they're playing Shout Out Louds and I'm too afraid to drink my coffee cuz I think it might turn me into Hank Moody, Bret Easton Ellis, Martin Kellerman or any other nice, unnice, cultivated, dysfunctional asshole. And if I won't become one of them I will most certainly turn into the white middle-(cl)assy asshole I should have been, start to like "difficult" poetry and forget all about intersectional perspectives. Ok, I'm outta here now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

PLUPP GOES LEILA K AKA SHAON MY LOVE

THE CLOWN AKA NETTE & THE SPACE LEOPARD AKA ME

I've been so damn proud for the past few days. I'm surrounded by multi-talented people. Don't think I've been this proud since we won the league (show jumping) in 2002. And there're not many things that can make me feel that MEGA AWESOMENESS feeling that my former horse's life gave me. First P3 GULD. The choreography our own 2faced1 superhero Decida made for Robyn's performance was fucking great!!! And then GULDBAGGEGALAN. Fantastic Ina Holmqvist and Emelie Wallgren was one of the three nominees for best documentary and their move "SÅ NÄRA" is now shown at the cinema!!!! RAVE RAVE RAVE!!!!
