Abstract or Description

The Department of Art Public Talks Programme Autumn 2022 welcomes artist Lloyd Corporation.

Lloyd Corporation’s work takes shape through site-specific research and the collection of material culture. Working together since 2010 their practice utilizes sculpture, installation, moving image, performance and print.

Works often take found objects as departure points to explore the material effects, contradictions and residues of capitalism, with a focus on the urban landscape and informal economies in the city. Their practice also involves participatory works, exploring these issues and processes in collaboration with communities and audiences as staged interventions within public and institutional spaces.

These different making processes all aim towards a common ambition: rendering complex, abstract socio-economic processes and structures - such as capitalism, globalization and urban development - visible, located and connected to our everyday lives.

Lloyd Corporation is a collaborative project between artists Ali Eisa (b.1987, UK) and Sebastian Lloyd Rees (b.1986, NOR).
