From their fiberglass child mannequins or Zygotic
acceleration, biogenetic, de-sublimated libidinal models (enlarged
x 1000) to their current interest in consumer culture, Jake
and Dinos Chapman are two of the most controversial artists
working in Britain today. Having drawn from popular icons such as
MacDonalds as well as artistic icons such as Goya’s Disasters
of War they investigate society’s taboos. Often provocatively
humorous, their work continues to generate debate and extreme reaction.
The brothers have been nominated for this year’s Turner
Prize and Jake Chapman joins broadcaster Matthew Collings
for a conversation about their current, past and future work. Matthew
Collings is author of Blimey!: From Bohemia to Britpop: The London
Artworld from Francis Bacon to Damien Hirst, It Hurts: New York
art from Warhol to now, and This is Modern Art.
