Catalogue from the exhibition held at the three co-publishers and the Robert McLaughlin Gallery between June 2013 and June 2016. This book explores the collaborative work of two of North-Americas most prominent contemporary artists. This publication represents the most complete career overview to date of these highly respected North-American artists. Featured are their signature sculptural and kinetic installations along with several smaller works that together form an experimental journey around the artists' ideas on modernist art. In particular, cool geometric minimalism is used as part of a strategy of critique within the context of the information age. References to Wikileaks, Google, electronic surveillance, and information suppression are dissimilated within works marked by bright colours, enchanting movements, and humour. It is possible to see this collaborative work as both a playful encounter and a relevant critique of the supposed utopia of total information access.
