Black Mass for Partial Objects was an installation and performance at the Royal Academy of Arts in December 2008 as part of Event Horizon that was itself part of GSK Contemporary. A large glass, a sand/glitter drawing – and other objects and films were on display for the duration of the show, and then activated in the Mass.
Plastique Fantastique, on this occasion, were David Burrows, Simon O’Sullivan, Samudradaka and Hannah Neighbour, amongst others. Chant by Residue which you can listen to here.
A BLACK MASS is called for - to SELL-I-BRITE & OOO-BLIT-TER-RATE; a ritual of TRANS-FOR-MAY-SHUN. We, Plastique Fantastique, will PLUG-PLUG into the very logic of commodities, SEE-LECK-TiNG & I-SOOO-LATE-TANG elements from their habitual CIRK-COO-LAY-SHUN & thus enabling, at last, the resingularisation of all interested partees.
Anything NEW must, & yet must not, be made from the very matter of the world. A REE-COMB-BAN-NATION is never enough ON ITS OWN. We call for a TRANS-POOR-TAY-SHUN that IS the practice – a falling through the point on the world into the loop of that-which-hitherto-was-invisible. O YES.
But first, the SHOW-PING to gather thee GOODS!
And now, the MASS-BLACK COCKY-TAIL and the taking of the MASS-BLACK FARMA-SUITIC-KILL!
WE OOO-BLIT-ER-RATE the BOUGHT; GOODS become SHADOWS!
We SELL-I-BRATE the brilliance of the NEW!
We affirm the STILLL-NESSS of the transformed THING!
And now, AT LAST, the INVERSION!
Welcome GROANEE-SICASTI-KASTEE! (All cheer and welcome the demon)
