Stephanie Smith / Edward Stewart
The Changing Room, Stirling
What have we done? Smith/Stewart explore a new direction, where their interaction with others forms the basis of the work. The aim of the work is to explore the boundaries of collaboration, power, intimacy, acting and reality.
Stephanie Smith and Edward Stewart have been making work collaboratively since 1992. Fundamental concerns revolve around human relations and what people are capable of doing to one another, both physically and psychologically. Early video installations involved the dual interaction of a man and woman (the artists), often in extreme situations requiring mutual complicity and trust.
In this exhibition, What have we done?, Smith/Stewart explore a new direction, where their interaction with others forms the basis of the work. Through giving specific instructions and working with a particular group, they aim to explore the boundaries of collaboration, power, intimacy, acting and reality.
This newly commissioned work has been made specifically for The Changing Room, using the context and space of the Tolbooth.
Smith/Stewart have shown widely (most recently in MAC/VAL, Paris and PS1, New York). Their work is in various collections including the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and the Tate. They have an upcoming solo show at Tramway, Glasgow in October 2011. They work and live together in Glasgow.
