As their name suggests, Artists Anonymous (AA) keep their identity well hidden. All that we know is that they are a group of three, dividing their time between Berlin and London. The anonymity is to remove the possibility of their gender and age influencing evaluation of their work.

The group started exhibiting together in 2005 and even created a gallery space in London to show their own and other artists’ work. Their rapid rise to prominence is culminating in a series of high profile international exhibitions this year, with solo shows in Stockholm, Zurich, London and Madrid between August and December.

The film above is from their exhibition at Wetterling Gallery in Stockholm. It was a remarkable installation of 49 almost identical oil on wood portraits (40 x 30 cm), showing a woman’s head changing direction from left to right.

From October 15, Artists Anonymous will display installations over three floors at the Berloni Gallery in London.
System of a Dawn, is an example of Artists Anonymous’ ongoing game of inversions and illusion with the viewer, where commonplace expectations implode from the inside out and back again.
