Their inclusion in HYPER-POSSIBLE brings their six year project, The Magician Trilogy, to a close. The concluding installation for Coventry Biennial 2021 is what the artists describe as “…a reminder of Zersetzung for Generation Z”. This trio of immersive artworks, made for previous Coventry Biennial in 2017 and 2019 as well as the HYPER-POSSIBLE involved them collaborating with Star Wars actor turned Quantum Researcher, Jack Klaff, as well as other artists and musicians. Georgiou & Tolley have previously presented artwork at Open Eye Gallery, ARS Electronica, MoMA New York and the V&A Museum. The Pair also work extensively as educators across the Midlands as well as nationally and internationally. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/646145cf74dccf6fafa6040a/7ff8a9e9-7ddf-4bfa-b4ea-1752a9bde669/Screen+Shot+2023-09-17+at+19.27.54.png Work - FILM 'Michael' (sound/moving image installation 5mins 36 secs) by Georgiou & Tolley, commissioned as part of the British Art Show 9 (BAS09), Hayward Gallery Touring (2022) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/646145cf74dccf6fafa6040a/710ea9b8-53e7-4245-9c25-2351ff69284f/Screen+Shot+2023-05-14+at+22.40.35.png Work - FILM Marchmont House: Artist-in-Residence 2021 PROEM is a body of work, comprising photo-artworks, moving image and sound. It reflects ongoing research and recording work, undertaken during my residency at The Tower Studio, Marchmont House Creative Spaces, Scotland, during March, 2021, and is ultimately intended as a ‘proem’, or prelude, to a much larger, proposed body of work. PROEM takes as its original departure point, the idea of mapping Marchmont visually and sonically in the here and now, whilst creating a metaphorical conversation with the the past. In particular, referencing a chain of human stories, whose narrative dimensions have been largely lost or forgotten to history: men, women and children, who toiled across Marchmont’s vast estate, as listed in its Day Labour inventory, for the year 1818. This, overlaid with sounds, images and voices, which give signature to the Marchmont of today, ultimately places two realms of disparate time, into an open dialogue with each other. #proem #prelude #marchmont #marchmontcreativespaces #bordersartfair #movingimage #photoartwork #sound #installation #installationart #openstudios https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/646145cf74dccf6fafa6040a/9d628591-49c0-418d-90e6-c48ae41663ef/IMG_3073.jpg Work - FILM Entangled State by @GeorgiouTolley premiered @CovBiennial 4 October-24 November 2019.

Hinterland means many things. Hinterland: Renegotiating the Archive - Sound & Picture Poems, explores the notion of multilingualism, cross-cultural encounters, and the ‘untranslatable’; a project to fill the holes in language and visualise something when language isn’t quite enough.Hinterland consists of new contemporary artworks, made in response to artist/educator Darryl Georgiou’s personal photographic/film/sound/image archive. The archive, entitled Mercia B21, largely documents the English Midlands (Mercia) and comprises a repository of 5000 analogue photo-images and 100 hours of cine-film, captured in Georgiou’s birthplace, Handsworth (10/07/81-10/07/90). It also includes digital sound recordings and artefacts (1990-2005) as well as audio-visual material captured in Coventry, where he has worked since 2000. One of Georgiou’s archive photographs, Buffet Tariff (Villa Cross Tavern), itself based on an original artifact sourced from the Villa Cross Tavern (a significant landmark in the Handsworth civil disturbances of September 1985), became the departure point for a new Sound & Picture Poem audio-visual artwork. Authored by Tolley-Georgiou, ‘Talking Trifle’ is a language-game of sorts, concerned with semiotics. The piece considers visual and verbal language within the context of lexical gaps between image, voice, sound, and text. The practical foundations of the work were laid by conducting a series of workshops, with participants/communities across the Mercian region (and beyond), recording people’s attempts at translating items from a menu board into a range of indigenous dialects, with a particular focus on the term ‘trifle’. The common query, “What is Trifle?”, is a perfect example of the slippage between languages, of ‘what’s lost in translation’. How do you tackle the word ‘trifle’, linguistically? Taking the work beyond just the text, the artists looked at ways beyond language, looking at those lexical gaps, and highlighting something as innocuous as a traditional British dessert. Exploring photography’s capacity to act as a ‘visual language’ and using systems of Dadaist cut up and re-presentation, ‘Talking Trifle’ is also concerned with people and place. Evoking cultural narratives and memory, through superimposed image and text, as a meta-language of infographics, contemporary hieroglyphics, Morse code, dots, and dashes, to represent ideas. In an undoubtedly altered world, Hinterland is perhaps a hopeful statement of unity, in a time of post-Brexit isolation and COVID-19 quarantine. Whatever the situation or challenging circumstances may be, it’s important for us to connect, communicate, and collaborate. In a broader sense, the project also poses the question: Who writes the history of the future? “Hinterland is important because it all starts and ends with ‘visual language’. The point being, that we are interested in where and how things connect, change, and transform. Hinterland allows us to join the dots, and create cross-platform stories, ultimately reflecting on the way we live today. Our wider research potentially develops alternative communication systems, coded languages, pictographic, ideographic, signed, or performed. A speech-less language, otherwise known as Art.” Georgiou & Tolley collaborate as an artist duo. Their ‘socially engaged’ practice often explores the “tension between truth and fiction, history and memory; questioning the way that we map and classify the world, to understand it”. ArtsLab international is an online studio and laboratory, for collaborative art projects, founded by Georgiou & Tolley in 2018. ArtsLab takes as its inspiration The Artist Placement Group (APG), which actively sought to reposition the ‘role of the artist’ within a wider social context, stating that, “context is half the work” ©Georgiou&Tolley 2020 Hinterland by Darryl Georgiou, Artist and Associate Professor, Coventry University, and Rebekah Tolley-Georgiou, Artist, Film Maker and Lecturer, Documentary: Theory and Practice, Birmingham City University.

Magician: Walking Back The Cat is a work concerned with Remote Viewing (sensing with the mind) and more broadly, collective anxieties surrounding mass surveillance. The work takes as its departure point Remote Viewing sessions, a technique using only the mind to travel to another space, time or location, to see things and people without actually going there. Remote Viewing was developed by the CIA and KGB as part of their intelligence gathering and spying activities during the Cold War. Walking Back The Cat was a term used by CIA agents as a way of retracing an operation’s process back to its origin. The term ‘Magician: Walks Into The Laboratory’ is the title of Georgiou & Tolley’s previous work about surveillance, and also the name of a document taken from one of many thousands of declassified CIA documents, which evidence the Agency’s investigations into the paranormal; time travel and extra sensory perception during the Cold War. Georgiou & Tolley reference both the historical and contemporary issue of consent and control, prompting a key question of our time: Who is watching who? Magician: Walking Back the Cat premiered at Singapore International Photography Festival 2018 as part of 'Entity of Spatial Existence' group show, curated by Yoon Suok Won. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/646145cf74dccf6fafa6040a/7f5c8c4f-4739-4b34-989f-65a8c533de88/Screenshot%2B2020-08-11%2Bat%2B18.46.50.png.jpeg Work - FILM Magician Walks Into The Laboratory (The Magician Trilogy Part 1) Magician Walks Into The Laboratory (2017) Sound/image installation. ©Georgiou & Tolley Part 1 of The Magician Trilogy, a series of artworks exploring surveillance in a Cold War 2.0 era.

In this edition, Slow Radio collaborates with an art project taking place at Riley Square. The project is an exploration of what makes a neighbourhood a home, and sound recordings and interviews have been made by artists Georgiou & Tolley @georgioutolley – asking ‘how places feel’. Slow Radio curates their recordings and builds on them, making a sound portrait of Riley Square; inviting us to step away from what we’re doing and just listen. Riley Square was a big shopping attraction for decades, but retail has struggled in recent years. During that time the community has changed too. The area is now home to a community from across the world. Their words and memories are our guide as we hear the concrete and the busyness of city life, the sound of wind whistling around tower blocks, and moments of beauty and calm.

Our images are concerned with the prevailing atmosphere of this place (Liverpool, L8). They respond to residents’ thoughts, memories, archive photographs and the streets of Granby/Toxteth today. The work connects with the here and now: events, locations or simply people reflecting on the strangeness of recollecting the past. Family photos and picture postcards became a recurring theme, as we talked to our Photo Stories collaborators. Subsequently, ‘postcards’ became one of the narrative devices we used for sharing thoughts, stories and potential futures. Our ambition has been towards a ‘collaborative’ form of photography; socially engaged, process-led photo-image-making and constructed imagery that attempts to engage with the people represented in the work.
