benandsebastian: Silent Parties: Languages: English, Danish
benandsebastian and David Stjernholm
benandsebastian have collaborated with specialists working within the fields of law, robotics, ethics, anthropology and cognitive science, addressing ways in which nonhumans have been silent, but also revelatory, parties in legal history.
BEN CLEMENT (*1981, Oxford) and SEBASTIAN DE LA COUR (*1980, Copenhagen) have been working together as the duo benandsebastian since 2006. Their artworks, such as Department of Voids at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa and at Den Frie in Copenhagen, discover potential within gaps in institutional representation.
