Exhibition text:
Love I and II (2014) presents an unorthodox love story. The artists use each other as a physical stand-in for themselves, and the work explores the notion that love is, even in its purest form, a predominantly selfish act. Clark Beaumont often use their collaboration as a proxy for relationships in general, and in Love I and II the artists contemplate this more cynical, yet potentially more honest, perspective as an enlightened alternative to the romanticised expectations of ‘true’ love.
