The New Brutalists (2004)
Jane and Louise Wilson (the Wilson Sisters) are twin sisters born in Newcastle in 1967. At secondary school they were the only pupils studying A Level art. Despite studying at different institutions for their BA, they submitted the same work for their degree (photographs where they appeared to be murdering each other, one by drowning, one with a noose). They then studied together on the MA course at Goldsmiths (1990-1992). Their work often features strange institutional spaces with dominant architecture, like oil rigs, the archives of the Stasi in East Berlin and the Apollo Pavilion in Peterlee.
They have a close relationship and share a flat.
