Simon Lee (b. 1956) works in photography, video and installation. His work is said to often be “a powerful metaphor for the random flow of history and a low tech formal tour de force” (Holland Cotter, The New York Times).
Eve Sussman (b. 1961) is a Brooklyn-based artist who incorporates film, video, sculpture and architecture in her work. Her 89 Seconds at Alcázar, a mesmerizing video re-creation of the painting of Diego Velázquez’s “Las Meninas,” was a breakout hit of the 2004 Whitney Biennial. Sussman is a 2010 recipient of the Anonymous Was A Woman Award and 2008 Creative Capital grantee.
Sussman and Lee together co-founded the Wallabout Oyster Theatre, a micro theater space run out of their studios in Brooklyn and the Rufus Corporation, an ad hoc think tank of collaborators.
