Jake and Dinos Chapman...again AGAIN!

I cannot get enough! Everytime I think I've seen all the different things they've done, I am yet again surprised by something new or something I didn't know! I found this on the Tate website after following the link from a picture. This has given me more info about why they do what they do, and what their motives are.

"The series of mutated mannequin sculptures, or anatomies, shown here dominate the artists’ work of the 1990s. Zygotic acceleration biogenetic de-subliminated libidinal model (enlarged x 1000) 1995 is composed of a group of child mannequins fused together, whose misplaced genitals replace other orifices. Such works evoke the Surrealists’ fascination with shop-display mannequins, waxworks, automatons or dolls, relating them also to Sigmund Freud’s (1856–1939) concept of the uncanny, because they hover between the living and the inanimate. The Chapmans’ mannequins only become truly uncanny when, like Hans Bellmer’s dolls, the artists play with their bodily coherence, fragmenting and fusing bodies together to create monstrous hybrids, displacing usually concealed or hidden parts of the human body (genitalia, pudenda) onto their faces. They also refer to a Freudian view of displaced sexual desire or libido, or desires that are repressed and then released (de-sublimated), as in The Return of the Repressed 1997. Furthermore, they evoke contemporary concerns with genetic manipulation and cloning - or ‘Frankenstein science’ – and vanity or celebrity driven plastic surgery." http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-liverpool/exhibition/jake-and-dinos-chapman/jake-and-dinos-chapman-room-1

I also found some videos on youtube of their work, which has given me a better idea of what the layouts look like, rather than just looking a photos.

This one ^ gives a real insight into their minds and why they create work like this! So interesting and inspiring
