ARTISTIC POLICY good cop bad cop creates artwork for a variety of contexts and locations, combining skills in photography, video, performance, and text. Drawing on both historical and contemporary themes and references, performances frequently push the performers’ physical endurance to its limits.
REVIEW EXTRACTS ‘Phantom Ride’ elevates the art of the unreliable narrator to a new level – its very unreliability is unreliable…clever, funny and filled with deadpan charm. Metro The spectators are implicated in the discovery of the unknown within their familiar environment … a novel idea, the experience is unexpected and original. La Presse, Montreal Difficult to define and impossible to categorise, which is the sign of a creative and unique production. Vibes
