Yesterday at 1800 (GMT) Luke "Anwar" Ferrit and Daniel Oliver were forced to make a public statement via WAP satellite.
After an immediate controversy arose following their performance of AuntyNazi Phase XIII: the Minotaurial Candidate on the 3rd & 4th of July in the Arts Building of Queen Mary's University of London an online mob fury of untold proportions gathered to voice protest. "What they are doing is almost so untrue it's unbelievable!" one man said. Even the placard waved by an under 18 seemed to imply a largely disgruntled position had been taken by the future of British society's female member when it came to AuntyNazi.
From behind their masks Luke and Daniel spoke candiedly about the distinction between "contract impressionism" and evil in an attempt to quash the notion that what they did for people over the two days was wrong. "I read about a performance in Italy where a literally brand new baby still with the tag on was placed alone and nude in front of a serious capacity crowd. Now answer me that. There was an audience full of people who did absolutely what?" offered Daniel. "The problem is potentially that huge members of the pre-booked audience are just forgetting to remember what it is they're actually doing there", barked Luke, arms folded a lot. "It's not getting to a point where a man can barely manage his own existence without some c*nt farting in the background, but people have to recognise that the slabs are taking a shift for the worse. I mean, don't look down, but it's happening under your feet!" he continued, clearly getting both emotional and political in tandem way beyond the script.
Recently described by artist and academic Jordan McKenzie as "a hallucinogenic world of fragmented meaning, private histories and public confessions", this wandering Jew of a world into which AuntyNazi wire their audience with rather wet hands has clearly caused a spark on the Mile End Road. "Everything about [contract impressionism] is pushed to the limit as it unfolds, assaults, confuses, cagoules and seduces its audience. Watching or participating in an AuntyNazi performance is a bit like being given a joke bomb that causes an actual explosion. The work is not easy, as it does not give itself up without a fight", stresses Jordan McKenzie. Indeed we shall see.
Scheduled to perform AuntyNazi Phase XIV: Six Women Swear in Swimwear (Oozing the Spill Chick) on August 24th in Nottingham, Luke "Anwar" Ferrit and Daniel Oliver will inevitably be up against it and be no doubt prepared. Whilst very little information has been made available about the show, a source close to AuntyNazi has reported that Daniel will be armed with a balloon and Luke a pistol...
