Lubaina Himid + Susan Walsh
We make work about the invisible and the unrecorded. Usually Susan thinks about people with transient lives, the objects they rescue, carry with them and treasure in a new place. Lubaina overpaints old objects with patterns, portraits and texts to make new readings of established histories.
We have worked together making films about artists lives, old houses and museum collections.
Between us we have explored behind the ‘scenes’ at the V&A Museum, The Bowes Museum, The Hatton, The Geffrye Museum, The Tate, Stoke Museum and Platt Hall, so Artemis sounded like fun because we could take things away.
We were looking for large mahogany tables and fine walnut wardrobes but these were probably the only things they didn’t have. However we are fickle and fell in love with Rub a Tub senior and Albion.
