Burtonwood and Holmes are a collaborative team working in a range of media to produce work that challenges mainstream ideas about warfare and consumerism. Their large-scale installations attempt to “bring the war home” to audiences on different levels. Illustrating the consumptive aspect of warfare and defining “materielism” (sic) as an integral part of the global economy. Recent projects include “PRODUCTplacement” at the Open Studio Project (2006) which was featured on ABC7 Chicago, “Subtle Combat” a two person show with Robert Burnier at Around the Coyote Gallery in Chicago and “We’ll Meet Again” a group show at GARDENfresh (2007).
