John Wood b. 1969 Kowloon, Hong Kong / Paul Harrison b. 1966 Wolverhampton, UK / Live and work in Bristol, UK

John Wood & Paul Har­ri­son both stud­ied at the Bath Col­lege of Higher Edu­ca­tion and have been work­ing together since 1993. The video works, which include per­for­mance of the Har­ri­son & Wood duo take a posi­tion between tragedy, com­edy and irony. These works, which are min­i­mal­ist, sculp­tural and have ele­ments of instal­la­tion and per­for­mance, oscil­late between fail­ure, cal­cu­la­tion and ran­dom­ness. They are exper­i­ments with the size, the vol­ume and the move­ment of the human body in rela­tion to the sur­round­ing archi­tec­ture, which the two artists have usu­ally built themselves.
