Sue & Tim
Tim Noble and Sue Webster
Sue and Tim Noble have blazed a path for a pop-punk aesthetic in their hyper-creative exhibitions, and with an utter lack of regard for whether you like them or not.
British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster, a couple both in art and in life, began to investigate the toxic influences of consumer culture through a peculiar use of the self-portrait in striking installations made from seemingly abstract piles of rubbish, which when lit from a certain angle reflects the artists as shadows.
'They confuse the spectacular and the mundane, eschewing conventional ideas about good taste.'
Their work can be seen as creating an aesthetic of the banal and of over-consumption. With their unique installations they have blazed a path for a pop-punk aesthetic, using a variety of visual styles, combining and confusing the spectacular and the mundane, eschewing conventional ideas about good taste.
Recent shows
Since their first solo show in London in 1996 ('British Rubbish'), their work has gained critical acclaim internationally with exhibitions at Modern Art, London, PS1/MoMA in New York and at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
Upcoming exhibitions
In October 2005 Tim and Sue will exhibit in Asia for the first time at the Kukje Gallery in Seoul, Korea where they have re-illustrated the drawings from 'The Joy of Sex'. Their latest series of shadow sculptures, 'The Glory Hole', will be on view at the Bortolami/Dayan Gallery, New York from November.
