Borins and Marmon have been working in large scale installation and sculpture to find surprising patterns and hidden desires in the elements of everyday life. Their brash confrontational approach with the art world and with the elements of everyday life produce new ways of looking at place and design.
Their work addresses tensions that arise in the politicization, historicization and visuality of the artwork. These tensions are presented as a confrontational platform, whereby aesthetic and ideological perceptions are either eroded or re-affirmed. While their work is conceptual by inception, Marman and Borins rely on the physicality of the art object to convey a stance that shifts paradigms of object based art, rather than dematerializing the object. Their work addresses subjects on an aesthetic and conceptual level by positing strategies of visual resistance and paradox, amidst the ambiguity of a globalized political landscape where ideological stances are dissipating.
