Nick Crowe and Ian Rawlinson are based in Berlin and Manchester and have worked collaboratively since 1994. Their work is primarily concerned with the languages of power, with its grammar and with its rhetoric. Their projects address questions around faith, politics, national identity and the environment and their video and sculptural works create an encounter with the viewer that focuses on the complexity of objects and actions in relation to their social contexts.

Recent solo exhibitions include Song for Coal, Yorkshire Sculpture Park, 2015; Ride Across Lake Constance (with Awst & Walther), LoBe, Berlin, 2014; Six White Horses, Whitworth Gallery, Manchester, 2013; The Opera, Plataforma Revólver, Lisbon, 2012; Nick Crowe and Ian Rawlinson, SALT, Istanbul, 2012; Towards A Free Society, Institute of Jamais Vu, London, 2012.
