The four artists in this collective recognise that their disparate practices feed their interest in a common theme, the reconciliation of daily life within an artistic framework.
While each member addresses their own conceptual concerns through different methods and materials, their strength as a group lies in their shared commitment to unabated discourse about new methods for producing and presenting contemporary art. Through weekly meetings, the collective debates contemporary ideas and visual culture. They anticipate discussion as preliminary to action and as an opportunity to express their individual understanding of their commonality. That commonality is often best expressed in understated jibes at their own worldview. This thread runs through the collective sum of their work, lending it a reassuring mix of credibility and humility.
Each artist in the group will respond to the practice of the other, creating an individual response to the collective effort. The response will be the culmination of conversation as artistic process. As such, the works will not refer directly to each other but will inter-reference the sharedness or rejection of known ideals, influences, and beliefs that inform the others’ practice. Through subtle reference to each other, the artists will both confirm and negate their own individual identities to find new possibilities of how work can be read as either mutually supportive or as isolated moments of belief.
A delicate struggle to find consensus while maintaining individuality.
