PRICE £12.00
Elegant, haunting and arresting, the film and video works of Jane and Louise Wilson have attracted increasing acclaim and attention, including a nomination for the 1999 Turner Prize. Specialising in supremely vivid evocations of a particular spirit-of-place, the Wilsons draw on cinematic conventions and allusions to conjure a heightened, often uncanny atmosphere. The first extensive monograph on their practice, this book explores the Wilsons' single-channel videos and films, as well as the powerful, hypnotic multi-screen installations that have made their names.

PRICE £12.00
Since they began collaborating in 1993, John Wood and Paul Harrison have accumulated a series of playful and beguiling video works which are distinguished as much by their droll humour as their unerring economy of execution. Played out against a minimalist, monochrome backdrop, or within the sealed-off space of the monitor itself, each of the works involves the presence of one or other of the artists, either as the butt of an extended sight-gag or as the trigger for a spiralling, visually surprising conceit.
