THE MIDDLE PEOPLE
Revenge of the Killjoys is the debut LP from The Middle People, Mikey Georgeson and António Olaio – artists with an uncanny connection – entangled by a shared pleasure of the uncanny. They are based on the same timeline, Antonio in Coimbra, Portugal and Mikey in West Sussex, England. Their’s is the pleasurable sound of the abyss in a haunted bluetooth headset. They met by chance at Antonio’s When You Awake You Will Remember Nothing, Courtyard Theatre, Hackney.
António Olaio has established an unparalleled presence in the context of the Portuguese visual arts and Mikey has recently taken his ritual spaces to LA (AC institute) and Athens (Platforms Projects). By virtue of their multi-disciplinary approaches, they are forerunners in performative areas where visuality, sound, poetry and voice intersect in an idiosyncratic creative dynamic.
