Stefhan Caddick and Simon Whitehead

Stefhan Caddick is a visual artist based in Wales. His work is often multidisciplinary, encompassing visual art, new media and elements of performance.

His work sometimes takes the form of manoeuvres; strategies or methodologies which result in an action, installation, or other form of presentation; erecting a discontinued electronic road sign in the middle of Cardiff and asking the public to send their text messages to it; attempting to make and use a pair of skiis with no knowledge of woodwork (or skiing); recording a second of sound every minute for three hours in an attempt to produce a 7Ó single; or cycling 250 miles during a cold February in Wales, avoiding main roads and asking passers-by for hand-drawn directions.

Movement artist Simon Whitehead works from his base in rural West Wales and Internationally. He has developed a body of work from the pedestrian; encountering situations at walking pace his works are place sensitive and often involve a process of ritual reconstruction through the body, live performance, sound and sensory media. Over the last 8 years he has collaborated closely on many of these works with sound artist Barnaby Oliver and his work continues to embrace notions of plurality and the collaborative process with other artists, the public, place and animals.

TEA

TEA is a collaborative team of artists working within an expanded notion of public art. They aspire to a 'Critical Spatial Practice' that explores and represents places in ways that challenge the familiar or taken for granted. Places don't have one fixed identity. Not only do they change over time but use, experience and memory identify them in different ways depending on a person's relationship to them: familiar, personally significant, public, official, economic, brief, sustained. The making visible of relationships between people and places reveals the "Immaterial Architecture of Place" (Doreen Massey).

As artists, TEA enter this rich arena and for a time become part of its complex identity.
