| David Tibet & Steven Stapleton Horse Hospital, London, April 8 - May 4 2002 In 2002 the Chamber of Pop Culture at the Horse Hospital presented the inaugural art exhibition of David Tibet (Current 93) and Steven Stapleton (Nurse With Wound). We recently came across some photographs that we took when we visited the exhibition, we present them here as an archive piece to commemorate the exhibition together with the promotional postcard and a download of the exhibition guide. "The Chamber of Pop Culture is proud to present the world premiere exhibition of the artworks of David Tibet and Steven Stapleton. Forging a mutual artistic bond in 1983 lasting to the present day. Tibet and Stapleton create coherent yet separate visions, in turns destructive and beautiful; demonic and childlike. World renowned as recording artists Current 93 and Nurse With Wound, Tibet and Stapleton initially grew as seminal lights of the UK post-punk experimental and underground scene, to latter production of huge swathes of musically apocalyptic folkscapes and surreal visions of unsellable pop music. This inaugural exhibition, with two new site-specific sound installations by the artists, displays both new and old 2D and 3D works, including original album cover art: comprising a selection from a vast twenty year body of work of paper and in sound." - Horse Hospital exhibition invite Released to accompany the exhibition was the double CD Music For The Horse Hospital / Sounds From The Horse Hospital featuring the site-specific sound installations by Current Ninety Three / Nurse With Wound.
