Love's Dirty Habit Too
Valentines Day 2002 Tracey Moberly (then Sanders-Wood) collaborated with Johny Brown producing one of her trademark recycled mobile phone text messages. The exhibition at Shoreditch's Foundry was titled LOVE'S DIRTY HABIT after a Band of Holy Joy song. Another 500 pink and red balloons were released into night sky each with a the 'LOVES' DIRTY HABIT' title, a red suspender belt clip; a mobile phone number along with a request for any finders of the pink and red balloons to text in their LOVE'S DIRTY HABIT'. All senders' texts were exhibited in the anti-room gallery at The Foundry. The new language and future of communication was uppermost in our minds along with throwing a great party. The opening night was a blur of pink and red balloons along with a cocktail of sordid texts, zapped in from the hinterlands of London. Concluding with a great night and a supreme show.
Tracey has has been working on her text message project for over a decade. Continuing to recycle her texts and exhibit them in a variety of mediums. For LOVE'S DIRTY HABIT TOO...Tracey has sent Nicola Jayne Maskrey and Inga Tillere 28 love-lust recycled texts for each day of the valentine month. Jayne and Inga will interpret a random selection of Tracey's early texts from 1999 and latter day 2009 texts visualising and constructing them into a new medium.
The Band Of Holy Joy will play a live set from a collection of songs about to be released called Troubled Sleep... songs inspired by Love's Dirty Habits: Betrayals, lusting, casual sexual murdering that kind of low and grand declasse behaviour...
