They're outrageous!
Taking our name from one of our father's favourite Steely Dan tracks, Showbiz Kids is a multi-disciplinary artistic collaboration between my brother, Alex, and I.
We make short films constructed from atmospheric soundscapes, hauntological visuals and narrative spoken-word. We go back in time, to places that sowed the seeds of our creative imaginings as children. We tread the paths of our previous selves, to rediscover and define anew the landscapes and environments that shaped our aesthetic and intellectual sensibilities.
Sometimes, those places are suffering endemic social decline, environmental erosion and the pitiless ravages of time. We see through the veil of dust and decay, and encourage the spectres of past imaginings into the present.
We facilitate and document a variety of artistically-driven events and projects. We have experience of many different environments: from running a retail gallery space, to producing music events, organising exhibitions and co-developing sketchy concepts through to fully-realised fruition.
The heart of our collaboration lies in the notion of the unseen, the forgotten or dis-remembered. Like archeologists, we find the greatest pleasure in rediscovering the fantastical and the whimsical. We seek oddities that have fallen outside of time, and encourage them slowly back to life using their own breath. To force them would render their truth to dust.
Showbiz we may be, but the paler colours behind the minds eye are where we find our hearts desire.
If you've an artistic nugget that would benefit from our input, get in touch. We're probably cheaper than you think.
