Leslie Hill and Helen Paris are artists working in performance, video and
digital art. Known for their edgy, humorous interrogations of contemporary
culture and politics, their work has been called "as smart as it is
seductive" (Irish Times).
"Our investigations involve intimate, personal journeys alongside public
research and enquiry. This leads us into collaborations and conversations
with a huge range of people - truckstop waitresses, biological scientists,
political refugees, occularists, nuclear weapons experts, sex workers, old
folks' social groups and lost property workers to name a few." CURIOUS
CURIOUS was formed in 1996 and has shown work and been supported
internationally. Hill and Parisıs book, The Guerilla Guide to Performance
Art: How to Make a Living as an Artist (2002) is published by Continuum and
is in its 2nd edition. Their new book, Performance and Place, was published
by Palgrave MacMillan in March 2006. Leslie Hill was a NESTA Dream Time
Fellow 2005/06 and she is now Principal Research Fellow in Performance
Technologies and Co-Director of Studies for the Practice-based PhD Progamme
at SMARTlab, University of East London. Helen Paris directs the MA in
Contemporary Performance Making at Brunel University.
