Item Special Note
Artist Statement: Gipe+Tell is a collaborative team consisting of Bay Area-based artists Lawrence Gipe & Sarah Tell. Our collaborative artwork is prompted by a mutual interest in ideological & authoritarian sites, industrial materials, brutalism & other urban architecture, & narratives/shared experiences that inspire us to combine aesthetic forces. We have distinct, separate practices, but find that working together generates a hybridized art that manifests aspects of our relationship, & allows for unpredictable results. Our piece "Nobody Gets Out Of Here Alive (Homage to Sartre)" aligns with the dystopic themes in which we are both drawn, representing both a physical & mental despair. Sartre's play "No Exit", in which three deceased characters are punished by being locked in a room together for eternity, inspired this piece.
