Artist / Joanne Tatham And Tom O'Sullivan
Information
“Think Thingamajig is one of many works by Joanne Tatham and Tom O'Sullivan in which a motif is repeated again and again in different forms. Its replication and transformation ... refers to the way in which certain processes of reproduction are also processes of transformation. To consider a work of art in the age of the possibility of its mechanical reproduction is to consider the process of its re-representation and, perhaps, to attempt to gain control of its re-representation, even in the face of the certain knowledge that this attempt will fail.” Will Bradley
