Exhibitions

The Bears All Things series has been exhibited since 2013. For us, the important thing about exhibitions is that they are site-specific. In each exhibition we have presented new works designed specifically for that space. We are interested in personal and original spaces where we can use the structures of the space as part of the installation. We are open to all kinds of invitations to exhibit and will be happy to design a piece to suit your space.
