Overview


The world's most unpredictable duo is back. This time around, the girls are armed with their new "Objekt Instruments" — handmade technology that traverses the territory between the functional and the aesthetic — and some new tunes from their soon-to-be-released electroclash album, Scream.

During the past year, they've played at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary's tenth anniversary; hosted their first pop-up shop in Osaka, Japan; and "lectured" at the Milan Art Fair. They're currently completing a two-month residency at Artspace, Sydney, and one half of the team, Melissa Logan, has started researching for a PhD in Biological Arts at UTS.

If you've never witnessed Chicks on Speed before, prepare yourself for an outrageous, irreverent hybrid of art, video, fashion, technology and music. In the words of Logan, they're all about "getting to the blatant points and not pussy-footing around."
