BY presenting themselves as ‘living sculptures’ they challenge the distinction between art and life; sacrificing their separate identities and turning the notion of creativity on its head.

The playful and ambiguous works on display, drawn from the ARTIST ROOMS and Tate collections, explore universal themes including sex, faith, and identity.

Presented in association with ARTIST ROOMS (Tate and National Galleries of Scotland) with Art Fund and Arts Council England support.
