Since 1963
‘What is it that you do?’
Since 1963, Martin Grimes and Michael McGinley pursued a collaborative practice that moved restlessly across questions of identity, authorship, spectacle, media, language, and meaning.
Their installations traced the unstable relations between artist and audience, between the artwork as object and as event.
Across exhibitions at the Bluecoat, Liverpool; the Arts Council Gallery, Belfast; Sheffield Hallam University; the University of Salford; Castlefield Gallery; and Cornerhouse, Manchester, as well as in The Annual Programme, their practice sought not resolution but dialogue — an ongoing exploration of how art’s meanings shift through context and encounter.
