Lone Twin, Photogram for Must Be Born Again, 2007 |
42.
MUST BE BORN AGAIN BY REV. J.M.GATES, 1927 REMIX: LONE TWIN, PHOTOGRAM FOR MUST BE BORN AGAIN, 2007 The recorded sermons of Rev. J. M Gates were bestsellers in African-American communities in the early part of the 20th century. Lone Twin reflect the directness and rawness of the preacher’s voice and the clear message of the sermon in their choice of a monochrome image. Transcribing directly from a scratchy record, they describe the work as “incorporating phrases that catch the light alongside others that are barely there and lost.” The boldness of the design is reminiscent of posters or banners used outside churches to draw attention to ideas of faith, birth and death, lightness and darkness, growth and dust. Lone Twin were also influenced by the approach and layout of the liner notes of the Anthology. Gregg Whelan and Gary Winters are Lone Twin, who have created an internationally celebrated body of work, with regular showings of entertaining and hopeful performances across Europe, North America and Australia, ranging from context-specific works lasting many days to gallery, studio and stage performances. www.lonetwin.com |
