SUMMARY:Tim Noble & Sue Webster: Love and Hate at Firstsite
DESCRIPTION:Noble & Webster have created a remarkable group of anti-monuments in their 24-year career\, mixing the strategies of modern sculpture and the attitude of punk to make art from anti-art. \nTheir work derives much of its power from its fusion of opposites\, form and anti-form\, high culture and anti-culture\, male and female\, craft and rubbish\, sex and violence. \nIn this presentation\, eight light sculptures by Noble & Webster illuminate areas of the Firstsite building with pops of glimmering colour. \nThis series of light sculptures reference iconic pop culture symbols represented in the form of shop-front-type signage and carnival shows inherent of British seaside towns\, Las Vegas and Times Square. With the aid of complex light sequencing these signs perpetually flash and spiral out messages of everlasting love\, and hate. \nPlease note\, that this exhibition contains works including flashing lights and contrasting colours across the building. For further information please speak to a member of staff. \n  \nAbout Tim Noble & Sue Webster \nIn 2009\, Noble & Webster were awarded Honorary Degrees of Doctor of Art at Nottingham Trent University in recognition of their contribution to contemporary British Art and their radical influence on younger generations of artists. In 2007\, they were awarded the ARKEN Prize at Arken\, Museum of Modern Art\, Copenhagen for outstanding contribution to the international scene of contemporary art\, in the same year their critically acclaimed project Polymorphous Perverse at the Freud Museum was nominated for the prestigious South Bank Prize. \nSince their first solo show in London\, British Rubbish in 1996\, Noble & Webster have enjoyed international recognition with solo exhibitions at Rockefeller Plaza\, New York\, 2008\, The Freud Museum\, London\, 2006\, CAC Malaga\, 2005\, Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston\, 2004\, P.S.1/MoMA\, New York\, 2003\, Milton Keynes Gallery\, UK\, 2002\, Deste Foundation\, Athens\, 2000 and The Chisenhale Gallery\, London\, 1999. Their work was included in Statuephilia—Contemporary Sculptors at The British Museum\, London in 2008–09 and in the exhibition Apocalypse—Beauty and Horror in Contemporary Art\, at The Royal Academy\, London\, 2000. \nTheir work is in the permanent collections of the AISTHI Foundation\, Beirut; Arken Museum of Modern Art\, Copenhagen; Art Gallery of South Australia\, Adelaide; Artis-François Pinault\, France; Berengo Studio\, Venice; The British Museum\, London; Dakis Joannou Collection\, Athens; Es Baluard Museum\, Palma\, Spain; The Goss-Michael Collection\, Dallas; Honart Museum\, Tehran\, Iran; Lyonel-Feininger Museum\, Quedlinburg\, Germay; Museum of Contemporary Art\, Denver; Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles; National Portrait Gallery\, London; Nicola Erni Collection\, Zug\, Switzerland; The Olbricht Collection\, Berlin; Project Space 176–The Zabludowicz Collection\, London; Saatchi Collection\, London; Samsung Museum\, Seoul\, Korea; Solomon R.
