Biography

The artists met at Chelsea College of Art in 2001 whilst both studying Sculpture, and began working together in late 2002. Their first major piece as a collaboration was Office (2003), an entirely fabricated office space constructed in false perspective in which the artists performed the roles of workers carrying out mundane and repetitive tasks whilst being watched by the viewer via a CCTV camera linked to a monitor outside the space. Both humorous the comic effect produced by the artists moving about within the false perspective environment as well as a comment on the perceived monotony and boredom inherent in the stereotypical office job and notions of work in general, the piece set up many of the themes that still dominate the artists practice.
