Chimps

Beagles & Ramsay have worked collaboratively since 1997. Their works have been exhibited internationally.
The anxieties, both cultural and social, that run through the work of Beagles and Ramsay read like a contemporary chronology of perceived malaise. They create a body of work capable of articulating the absurd, disturbing and humorous character of contemporary culture. Ultra-violence and other forms of poor taste in our culture signal the end of that patronizing and paternalistic cultural leadership which had hoped to use the technologies of mass culture to improve the impoverished and raise the moral standards of the nation.
