Heather and Ivan Morison

Luna Park in 2010

Heather and Ivan Morison are a Welsh artist duo known for their conceptual and performative public artworks. ^[1]

The duo, Heather Peak (born 1973) and Ivan Morison (born 1974), are based in North Wales. ^{[2] [3]}

Work

In 2007 they grew and then distributed 10,000 flowers in Bloomberg's headquarters in London's financial district, as an expression of love incongruous with the cut-throat world of economic enterprise. ^[4] Sleepers Awake, a work from 2011, was an attempt to reverse the order of nature by raising a second sun at night over the north Kent badlands. ^[5]

Exhibitions

Exhibitions include the 2016's Royal Academy Summer Show, ^[6] the Tate Britain, ^[7] the Tate Modern, ^[8] South London Gallery ^[9] and the Vancouver Art Gallery. ^[10]

They represented Wales at the 52nd Venice Biennial. ^[11]
