Art idol




In 2007 I had the pleasure of meeting these two men.John and Paul are two men who inspired me to experiment with video as an art medium.
Bristol-based duo Paul Harrison and John Wood could be described as an art-world equivalent to Laurel and Hardy. Their videos, showing their dead-pan antics as they dangle precariously from a ladder, slide on office chairs around the back of a moving van, and submit themselves to a drenching from dozens of watering cans, are both hilarious and thought provoking.
