KEEM is a collaboration between artists Kate Elliott and Emma McGarry. It was established in 2011, as an exploration into the nature of collaboration. Through methodology, ongoing discussion and debate, KEEM produces work which continuously questions subjectivity, materiality and identity.

The Postcard Project

Earlier this year KEEM went to Kiev for the city's first Biennale of Contemporary Art. Whilst there they searched the city for scenes from archetypal postcard imagery. Through performance and montage they then intercepted these scenes, creating two personalised versions of the generic postcard.

The Postcard Project, 2012


The postcards are being sent to Kiev for free distribution.
