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.
