Commissioned by Mead Gallery, Warwick Arts Centre
Cullinan + Richards work in a variety of traditional forms – sculpture, painting, performance, video and photography – to produce sculptural scenarios or structural supports for holding other artworks, documentation and performance.
These support structures mirror the way Cullinan + Richards work as artists, supporting and involving other people, reinventing relationships and weaving together socially and culturally shared histories and
live performances.
For their forthcoming commission for the Mead Gallery, Cullinan + Richards will make a new installation which continues to investigate the relationship of sculpture and painting to a performance event. The show takes the form of a dysfunctional furniture showroom cum studio, fused with the spectacle of ‘horse diving’, a stunt from the from 1920s Atlantic City on the east coast of America.
Cullinan + Richards will be working in collaboration with the designer and typographer Jonathan Barnbrook to produce a poster which will be given away free at the exhibition.
Cullinan + Richards have exhibited widely internationally, including The Whitechapel Gallery, South London Gallery, Mobile Home Gallery, Museum of Contemporary Art Seville, Daniel Spoerri Foundation, Italy, Whitstable Biennale, Kunstmuseum Lucerne Switzerland.
