Lives in United Kingdom.

Joanne Tatham & Tom O’Sullivan have worked in collaboration since 1995 after meeting on the MFA programme at Glasgow School of Art. Their artworks often function as displacements or diversions and are situated between – and use – sculpture, painting, architecture, photography, performance, literature, institutional critique and curation. Their solo projects include A Tool for the Making of Signs at Chapter, Cardiff (2012), Direct Serious Action is Therefore Necessary at CCA, Glasgow (2010) and Does Your Contemplation of the Situation Fuck with the Flow of Circulation at Eastside Projects, Birmingham (2009). They have exhibited widely, with work in group exhibitions at Villa Arson, Nice; Musee d'art contemporaine, Lyon; Marres Centre for Contemporary Art, Maastricht; Frankfurter Kunstverein and Leeds Art Gallery in the last few years.

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
