Marrow Gallery presents Spectacular Nothing, an exhibition of new works from Bay Area based artist duo, T.W.Five. Using hand cut vinyl to create immersive installations, T.W.five offers a distinct lens into contemporary culture. The duo, made up of the Swedish artist Pernilla Andersson and Brazilian Paula Pereira, seek to expand the audience of contemporary art beyond the insular art world. They choose to purposely depict the mundane, the extraordinary and the imaginary to create relatable, engaging and visually impactful work.
In the current series, they look at the artist from a different perspective; one in which the ordinary becomes the work of art. Traditionally, the artist is depicted in the studio, with works surrounding them. Here they are depicted in everyday situations; with pets, with spouses, eating. In a postmodern slant, this activity becomes the subject, with audiences depicted viewing and responding to these human moments. The takeaway from the series is that the artist is the art, not the object. The creative process is continual and limitless.
