Paul Teigh & Martin Russell : Beyond the Plenum

19 Feb-24 Apr 2010

Overview

British duo Paul Teigh and Martin Russell (formally known as PaulMart) have been collaborating since 2002. The work of Teigh and Russell has consistently questioned contemporary art’s internal dynamics, modes of reception and mediation with a highly developed understanding of the history of European decorative arts. They bring a genuine interest in and commitment to materials to their work, and the technical abilities to bring disparate influences to fruition in sculpture. The result is an often humorous conjunction of high art and disposable contemporary kitsch, which at times is beautiful, enigmatic, visually enthralling and participatory. At the Art and Design Gallery, Hatfield. Open Monday – Friday 9.30am to 5.50pm, Saturday 9.30am – 3.30pm.
