Joanne Tatham & Tom O'Sullivan: A Charming Meaning, A Solid Meaning, A Struggling Meaning

The Glaswegian artist-duo Joanne Tatham (born 1971) and Tom O’Sullivan (born 1967) have collaborated since 1995, on works that seem at once austere and folksy, such as large painted geometrical shapes--cubes, pyramids--interposed in public settings. Tatham and O’Sullivan have published a number of smaller artist's books themselves, but this is the first comprehensive overview of their complex and multi-faceted oeuvre. Beautifully designed, and with texts ranging from glossaries to poems to more conventional commentary, it immediately seduces the reader into Tatham and O'Sullivan's quirky world.
