Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard

Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard make accessible process-led art. They are pioneers of the recent trend exploring re-enactment as an artistic genre. From The World Won't Listen in 1996 to A Rock 'N' Roll Suicide at the ICA and, more recently through their film File Under Sacred Music, they have had the insight to key into contemporary society's engagement with performance and artifice as a vital part of cultural expression. In 2005 they recreated Vita Acconci's Walk Over working with Plan B, a young MC, to re-shoot the video adopting the aesthetic of urban music videos. In 2006 they presented Silent Sound featuring an original score by Jason Pierce (Spiritualized) for the Liverpool Biennial. Their most recent work has included collaborating with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds to create promotional videos for their new albums.
