Wood and Harrison

John Wood (born 1969) and Paul Harrison (born 1966) are an artist duo who make single channel videos, multi-screen video installations, prints, paintings, sculptures and drawings that elegantly fuse conceptual exploration with existential comedy.

They are perhaps best known for their works of minimalist performances, constructing experimental explorations of physical limitations, scale and movement of the human body in relation to its surrounding environment.

Wood and Harrison both studied at the Bath College of Higher Education (now known as Bath Spa University) and have been working together since 1993.

They have exhibited internationally, with notable solo shows held at institutions including IKON Gallery, Birmingham; Kunstverein Arnsberg, Germany; Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver; Mori Art Museum, Tokyo and Tate Britain, London. Their works are also held in public collections globally including Museum of Modern Art, New York; Tate, London; Arts Council Collection, UK and Centre Pompidou Collection, Paris. 

John Wood and Paul Harrison live and work in Bristol and Liverpool, England.
