In its upcoming exhibition, the Kunstverein Arnsberg is showing works by British artists John Wood and Paul Harrison. Both artists have been working together as a duo since 1993 and have an impressive oeuvre of videos, drawings and performative experiments that always question everything, be it the laws of nature or rational logic. Just when you have the feeling that you have grasped the plot, the course and setting suddenly change. You look at a ball in the film and are hit by one yourself. If the choreography of the works is precisely conceived, the execution is often left to chance. One moves cautiously to the next work, where only one thing is certain: an encounter with the unexpected. With a great deal of humour and inventiveness, the works unfold in the interaction between the two artists, who often appear in their films as actors themselves in a supportive or antagonistic manner. The interplay between the two usually evokes strange, peculiar situations and actions that seduce us with a great deal of imagination and seemingly present the absurd as logically as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


John Wood was born in Hong Kong in 1969, Paul Harrison in Wolverhampton in 1966, they live in Birmingham and Bristol. Their work has been shown in numerous museums and galleries worldwide, including Tate Modern London and MoMA New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
