by Tim Noble and Sue Webster
Webster describes the work of the duo as ‘your worst nightmare of what art can be’. Certainly, the pair have little regard for convention, mining the aesthetics of the fairground tattoo and the Las Vegas light show, the shopping mall and the rubbish dump.
They joined forces in their university days at Nottingham Polytechnic and since then have continued to work together, sharing the same fascination with the media and advertising industries; and together have tried being poor, starving artists while Britart became increasingly hip. Noble and Webster utilise a number of different media to visually challenge the relations between the spectacular, the serious and the entertaining.
