A rich and timely resource for all working in the
visual arts
Jane Watt speaks to Nina Pope and Karen Guthrie about their practice, the Bata-ville project and working with Commissions East.
Nina Pope and Karen Guthrie both studied printmaking at Edinburgh College of Art in the late 1980s. They moved to London to undertake postgraduate study at Chelsea School of Art and the Royal College of Art in the early 1990s. Since leaving art college they have each developed their practice as individual artists, but have also regularly collaborated on projects that draw on their complementary experience and skills in performance, installation, digital media and film.
Their unique working relationship allows space for individual concerns and projects, as well as support and development of co-authored work. This balance of mutual respect and understanding has enabled them to build up a portfolio of commissioned and self-initiated small- and large-scale work, as well as allowing them to expand their roles as artists to curators, producers and facilitators.
