The Connor Brothers are former art dealers and current British artists Mike Snelle and James Golding. They have perpetuated the myth of themselves as American twins Franklin and Brendan Connor, who grew up in an extreme Christian cult and had no access to information from the outside world. This image and their works blur the lines between truth and fiction. Their creations aptly and humorously question the everyday. The choice of texts and wordplay in the works are subtly modern. Among other things, the artwork includes a series of popular Penguin book covers, which on closer inspection appear as Pelican publishing house and present witty fictional books such as Play The Game But Break The Rules or Fuck the Algorithm. In the Pulp Fiction series, one can see nostalgically beautiful women from decades ago, but the texts are bold and rather modern.
The Connor Brothers on endised kunstikaupmehed ning praegused Briti kunstnikud Mike Snelle ja James Golding. Nad on ülal hoidnud müüti endist kui Ameerika kaksikutest Franklyn ja Brendan Connorist, kes kasvasid üles äärmuslikus kristlikus kultuses ning kellel puudus juurdepääs välismaailmast pärinevale infole. Antud kuvand ja nende teosed hägustavad piire tõe ja väljamõeldise vahel. Nende looming seab tabavalt ja humoorikalt igapäevase kahtluse alla. Teoste tekstide valik ja sõnamäng on peenelt kaasaegsed. Muuhulgas on kunstiteoste seas seeria justkui populaarseid Penguin kirjastuse raamatukaasi, mis lähemal vaatlusel ilmnevad Pelican kirjastusena ning esitlevad vaimukaid väljamõeldud raamatuid nagu näiteks “Play The Game But Break The Rules” või “Fuck the Algorithm”. Pulp Fictioni seerias on võimalik näha nostalgiliselt kauneid naisi aastakümnete tagusest ajast, kuid tekstid on julged ja pigem kaasaegsed.
It is possible to book museum rooms, the whole museum or a separate event space PoCo Lab.
