JOCJONJOSCH
: The Beasts
9 July - 1 August
Private view: 8 July
In a new series of video and print work entitled 'The Beasts', JocJonJosch continue their explorations of what it means and feels like to work as a collective.
Informed by their recent work in highly physical performance pieces, 'The Beasts' show Joc Marchington, Jonathan Brantschen and Joschi Herczeg entwined in a series of monstrous embraces. Each mutated beast that is born from the swallowed individuals is central to their extended investigation of collaboration.
Since forming as a group in 2008 JocJonJosch have continued to question the contemporary idyll for working in collaboration. This is demonstrated by their intimate working relationship as it evolves through an arduous, at times uncomfortable and disabling, set of events.
It is felt that only through this difficult process of experimentation and discussion do the final pieces attain aesthetic significance.
