Artists Ben Langlands and Nikki Bell have been collaborators for nearly 30 years and have experimented with virtually all media, from sculpture and photography to interactive digital installations. Among the many works sampled in this exhibition, their famous 2004 Turner Prize-nominated The House of Osama bin Laden allows viewers to take a 3-D tour of the al-Qaeda leader's home. Frozen Sky features airport acronyms spelled out in neon and placed on a clock face, in a comment on our shrinking world. The duo also has architectural works on view around the city, including the glass-and-steel Paddington Basin Bridge.
