Hillerbrand + Magsamen
As a collaborative husband-and-wife artistic team, Hillerbrand+Magsamen draw upon the rich Fluxus practice of incorporating humour, performance, photography, video and everyday objects into their work, expanding their personal family situation into a contemporary art conversation about family dynamics, suburban life and American consumer excess. This new kind of “suburban fluxus” generates work that documents and recontextualises our objects and possessions of self, family and culture, the role of the camera in contemporary art and challenges presumptions of the everyday. Hillerbrand+Magsamen live and work in Houston, Texas.
