Tim Noble and Sue Webster

Tim Noble and Sue Webster defy the recently established mould of Young British Artists – and, in their determination to tackle the hyperbole of this movement, have been labelled by some as ‘post-YBA’. The two famously assembled piles of rubbish in their first exhibition – frankly entitled British Rubbish – a clear attempt to confront the stereotypes put in place by the Sensation generation. Despite producing creations which utterly contradict traditional notions of good taste, the pair has exhibited at the Royal Academy and Saatchi Gallery, and are collected by Charles Saatchi.

Webster describes the work of the duo as ‘your worst nightmare of what art can be’. Certainly, the pair have little regard for convention, mining the aesthetics of the fairground tattoo and the Las Vegas light show, the shopping mall and the rubbish dump.

They joined forces in their university days at Nottingham Polytechnic and since then have continued to work together, sharing the same fascination with the media and advertising industries; and together have tried being poor, starving artists while Britart became increasingly hip. Noble and Webster utilise a number of different media to visually challenge the relations between the spectacular, the serious and the entertaining.
