We are represented by Rekorder, a German production house based in Berlin. Every now and then the company present their directors in a portrait and show where they live, how they live, what drives them and especially what movies they make. Here is what they made of us:

We have also safely returned from our Paper Architect tour to Australia, now working on a commercial for Courvoisier.

And we were invited to Stockholm to brainstorm ideas for a possible collaboration with one of Stockholm‘s many beautiful museums and Kristin has just finished the month with an artist talk at the beautiful Woodend Gallery in Scarborough where our work has been exhibited as part of a touring papercraft exhibition.

January 2014

 

The year has only just begun and we are dealing with possible projects in Singapore, South Korea, China, Sweden, Denmark, Israel, USA, France, United Arab Emirates and Australia.

 

January also brought us a few online and press highlights being featured in the Guardian, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and the Northern Big Issue.

 

Our fairies have been part of the London Art Fair: “An innovative mixed media video sculpture Multi-Fairy (2015) by Davy and Kristin McGuire is pure fantasy. Held within a wall mounted dark wooden box, a Duchamp referenced glass jar has a wired lid that rests upon an orange air-tight seal. Contained with are a series of Disney like butterfly-winged Tinkerbelles; each damsel deconstructs as pixelated fairy-dust at the tinkling sound of a bell, to be replaced by another of twenty five fluttering illusions. Whether mixed media is strictly sculpture has been argued, yet such creativity does enhance capacity for pioneering collectors.” (Melanie Veasey 2015)

 

If you want to see some of our work live follow the Art Unpacked Exhibition.

 

And finally, if you live in Perth or Albany in Australia please come and see The Paper Architect as part of Perth International Arts Festival.
