Our work addresses the legacy of modernism. It explores avant-garde discourses of the twentieth century in the context of a changing landscape of creative work and instrumentalised leisure. We are interested in the relationship between art and politics, and the roles irony and belief play in its current articulation. We often use choreographed movement and ritual as both an aesthetic and a thematic dimension, juxtaposing consumer rites and religious ceremonies to find the underlying convictions of a secular, post-ideological society. We also run xero, kline & coma, an artist run project space and we teach fine art at the University of Reading, at the Royal College of Art and at the CASS School of Art. We occasionally make what might be called music as UrBororo, and have been known to play in the band called WE. |
