We have collaborated since 1996, creating kitsch, photographic self-portraits with black, English humour at their heart. Our practice focuses on recording a staged, surreal, private performance.

We are based in London and Bournemouth. Over the last couple of years, women’s relationship to food has been a strong theme in our work:

20th July -Cally Trench@ArtWash
Last Monday Cally Trench showed '9Boxes' at ArtWash.
A great and very busy evening with little theatrical insights to different worlds.
www.callytrench.co.uk
It was also a great way to celebrate the past 5years of shows in the TruWash Launderette.
We might return there for one-offs but generally ArtWash has now move on to different venues.
A big thank-you to all who came and to Cally for such a stimulating evening.
We'll keep you in the loop as to what we get up to next.

Pledge- The Info.
Before we get cracking with the wild and wonderful menu,
here's some more information on how customers can acquire work from the menu...
Well-
No money will change hands!
Pledges given by each artist will be the '
currency' for the evening.
Each artist gave us a pledge, that they would like you- as the customer -
to
fulfil before you can call the work your own.
Now- the pledges vary
greatly.
Some are like party games we know,
others are a simple question to be asked or action to be made.
And then there are the kind of pledge that need a little time.
All the Artist who have
entered work have been very
generous .
To be fair
ArtWash will function as point of call between the artist and the customer.
For the pledges that need a little longer to
forfill,
the Customer will receive the pledge in a take-out box on the night.
Once this pledge has been
forfilled-
ideally with some documentation that
ArtWash can put on the blog-
ArtWash will then arrange with the customer to 'handover' the actual artwork.
It all sounds more complicated than it actually will be-Promise!
And ,it will all make sense on the night!

The architectural beauty of the Take-Out
Chinese Take-Out's are quite
distinct spaces.
They are often very similar in their lay-out.
This being 2/3 public area
and 1/3 against the back wall- defined by the Take-Out bar.
Food is usually prepared in a different space.
It seems to me that we like to eat Chinese but don't really engage with the people in these spaces.
