Bernard Debaillies work explores how values and cultural codes are constructed and mediated. London Afghan Hound Club is a webcast of Afghan Hounds that perform traditional Afghan music.

In an earlier interactive video installation Norwich Afghan Hound Club, a beauty contest for dogs was staged (shown at EASTinternational, www.east05.net and showing at the Idea Store as part of NODE.London). Each week the public eliminated one dog in an online vote until the winner remained. The dogs conform to the official breed standard and consolidate a belief system in which meaning is imposed on certain characteristics. Politics and aesthetics work hand in hand.

London Afghan Hound Club is a remapping of cultural codes. It reframes components of Crufts, traditional Afghan music and a contemporary boy band. Melodic vocals and drum loops are constructed from Afghan Hound samples and layered in 'tintal' rhythmic patterns. The launch will take place in March 2006 on the rooftop of the artist's studio in East London, [96 Teesdale St, E2 6PU].
