Mothers, daughters, husbands, wives, lovers, colleagues, disciples, friends; telepathy most certainly works, but does it work best between people that are intimately connected? Telepathy and Love: The Spanish Apartment invites groups of artists in unique relationships to make work together exploring this question. The exhibition premieres this September in Barcelona then tours to West Space, Melbourne for its rebirth and re-imagining.
Working together since 2006 Veronica Kent and Sean Peoples have been developing a collaborative practice based on the possibilities of telepathic communication. Telepathy serves as an extended metaphor and working methodology through which they explore alternate ways of being, communicating and collaborating, and acts as the premise for the setting up of encounters that test and provoke such relationships. In recent years they have entered into relationships, dialogues and created projects with artists from around the world who are also investigating alternative ways of making and transmitting some sort of meaning together. Telepathy and Love: The Spanish Apartment is their most ambitious project to date and allows them to bring this history together for the first time. Recent projects include Speech Objects at Musée de l'Objet, Blois, France, Once More With Feeling at The Margaret Lawrence Gallery and The Telepathy Project at the Forum Theatre for the 2008 Next Wave festival.
