“Stealing Beauty: British Design Now” brought together a collection of British designers who were searching for a new method and meaning in design. This cross disciplinary exhibition was curated by Claire Catterall for the ICA in London in 1999, in 2000 it was toured to the Mead Gallery in Warick.
The Light Surgeons exhibit drew its inspiration for the old secondhand analogue equipment that had become their trade mark in producing their visual displays in nineties club culture. The resulting installation was a mixed media piece which combined film, slide, video, collage, print making and sculpture. Recycling old film and slide equipment as assemblage, the dyeline print artwork, 16mm film collages all fused together with an array of different projections to form an elaborate deconstruction of their processed based approach to image making; blurring the boundaries between design and art.
