Tiff Oben

In The Loop is a collaborative art project between Matt Britton, Tiff Oben & Sebastian De Mont. Together the three artists developed and marketed the 139 a fictional band. The project developed from a sense of contingency with none of the disparate artists having a pre-conceived idea of where it would lead. The project involved an extended period of experimentation during which the artists shared and exchanged knowledge, sources, texts, music, ideas, themes, processes and materials. The chief objective was to develop a cross-disciplinary series of works that ultimately took the form of an installation incorporating film, photographic images, made and found objects. The final installation became a performance space for the 'band' and audience members who were unsure whether the autograph signing and record launch was real or performative.
