(USA, 1968/1967)

Jennifer and Kevin McCoy’s multimedia artworks examine the genres and conventions of filmmaking, memory and language. They are known for constructing subjective databases of existing material and making fragmentary miniature film sets with lights, video cameras and moving sculptural elements to create live cinematic events. Recently they have begun to include autobiographical references in their projects.
The McCoys’ work has been widely exhibited in the United States and internationally – their most recent shows include MoMA, New York; British Film Institute (BFI), London; Hanover Kunstverein; The Beall Center in Irvine; pkm Gallery, Beijing; The San Jose Museum of Art; Palazzo della Papesse, Sienna; The Addison Gallery of American Art, Andover; The Nevada Museum of Art; Artists Space, New York. Their work can be seen in the collections of MoMA, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Milwaukee Art Museum and the Speed Museum.
