'The Box' (2006) Bird-Jones & Heald, GIG gallery, Sydney, Australia.

By  Karen Heald 2016
The Box comprised of a responsive experimental film, which was shot in Madrid and documented the performance of Bird-Jones & Heald's journey through the city, with a wooden crate, from our hotel to the MAVA gallery. The film was then mutually developed and presented encased within an additional box. It was exhibited as an object in September 2006 at the GIG gallery in Sydney, Australia, and more recently in La Grange aux Verrières, France, 2016, as a joint work. The exhibition in France was kindly supported by Arts Council Wales and Wales Arts International. For further information and artworks from Bird-Jones & Heald please visit www.birdjonesandheald.co.uk
