the land of nod

a collaboration with George Shaw

(2000)

The Land of Nod, Lift Gallery, London
25th Feburary-12th March 2000

For this show Strutton and Shaw, who at the time were flatmates, spent a number of days living in the gallery to create an extended and theatrical recollection of their childhood bedrooms. The installation contained a collection of drawings and graphic works as well as objects and ephemera collected over 30 years. The show opened with a slapstick performance by the two artists on top of a double-ended bed on wheels.
