Coalfather Industries (Kara Jansson and Craig Newsom) focuses on the endless cycle of desire, consumption and disappointment pervasive in contemporary life.
They work with video, performance, animation and installation to critique and examine how consumerism, technology and surveillance encourage a culture of anxiety. They work and live in New York and Illinois.
Their work is informed on an ongoing basis by the writings of Samuel Beckett, Daniil Kharms, George Saunders and Philip K. Dick, as well as the visual narratives of Charlie Chaplin, Andy Kaufman and Joseph Beuys.
