To celebrate the first decade of the underground club night KAOS, KAOS and The Flying Dutchman/Mori+Stein Gallery are about to present an exhibition of photos and artwork of and around the seminal London queer techno party.

Featuring a mythological cast of nightcrawlers stroboscopically pinned against the post-industrial apocalypse of East London. Caught in the harsh intensity of a flashbulb glare, sparkling dissociatively in subterranean vaults and ruinous grottoes. A preternatural militia of nocturnal renegades throw abstract shadows; launch sonic attacks and stage gestures of ecstatic resistance and sublime abandon on a battered and tragically small stage.

The exhibition will include photographs taken over the first decade of KAOS alongside some of the imagery that has featured on the flyers and artwork from various artists who have collaborated with the club.

The exhibition opening will be an all-night event with late license and DJs + live photography studio and a screening of archive images.

KAOS are looking for photographers who have images from any of the KAOS events over the past 10 years if you have any images or know of any please get in contact here. Also for artists who have collaborated with us who would like to present work in this exhibition.
