Concrete Fictions

2015

Over the last 18 months we have determinedly sought to expand the parameters of our practice.

A new body of work, made specifically for ‘Concrete Fictions’ at New Art Projects, sees us adopt modes and technologies that mark a significant break and new direction in our practice.

We describe these highly personal works as an “identity-crisis made manifest”.

We reflect that “the works have the appearance of being made by the multitude within us, the ones that are usually silenced or willed into coherence”.
