Q) So....who killed Various Artist?
A) Our people are working on it - 'hey send that to the lab, no not Chocco, the fat bastards been fed'.

Q) No artist’s statement on your website?
A) We imagine ourselves as falling between making a club out of books and calling it Book Club and remaking Macbeth as a Disney cartoon. More than a one line joke but falling short of greatness.

Q) Ok, perhaps you could tell us a little about your practice...
A) In days like these to say you have a 'practice' seems like nothing more than a bourgeois conceit. Like all good artists we're simply chasing that elusive beast called the sublime.

Q) You seem to quote constantly from popular culture...
A) You know how when you take a dog for a walk and the animal will run off but keep returning to see where you are - well, we are that dog.

Q) How do you think you are viewed?
A) Our friends treat us with suspicion and our enemies with awe.

Q) Describe your illustrations?
A) 16th Mannerism meets 70's disco - or Bronzino versus the Village People - although we don't really do them anymore.

 

Q) You say you want a revolution?
A)It's always the streets isn't it, those comfortable, kettle friendly cul de sacs that carry us home on a water cannon wave of cabernet cabaret and corporate hostility. As you read this, someone in a grey hoodie with Athletic stencilled on the front is reclaiming them by tagging your polytunnel in large fluorescent bubble letters. He is a vegan called Jim or James. Or Beth.

Q) Or Both? Ok, a signature piece we can all admire?
A) A painting is never finished, it is simply abandoned and with the author long gone. The entire history of art is littered with abandoned texts, museums are nothing more than entertainment lay-bys in a cultural blizzard of fake snow.

Q) You're hosting a reality TV version of Jim, Dine With Me, who's invited to dinner?
A) Bono, Ono, Eno and Godot
Q) Sounds a riot, no women?
A) Godot's a man...?

Q) What do you do to relax?
A) I fake lie detector tests

Q) And finally, what is your super power?
A) China.
