Selected Exhibitions

May 2008 - boyleANDshaw: Paul Rest In Peace (part 2) OR 'i love you more than life'
boyleANDshaw is a collaboration between Adrian R Shaw and Matthew Boyle. Their method of approach is experimental and playful, often taking the form of a happening. Their recent work has semi-fictionalized Wakefield born boxer Paul Sykes. At his peak Sykes was a top professional who toured the US with Don King but he ended up a homeless alcoholic in his hometown and died last year. For this exhibition boyleANDshaw presented an installation combining film and sculpture. The installation included a sculptural reconstruction of a memorial to Paul (as seen in the film Paul Rest In Peace, 2007), using reclaimed granite cobble stones.
