Lloyd Corporation is a collaborative project between artists Ali Eisa (b.1987, UK) and Sebastian Lloyd Rees (b.1986, NOR). Working together since 2010 their practice utilizes sculpture, installation, performance and participation, often taking inspiration from informal and local economies.
Lloyd Corporation’s work takes shape through site-specific research and the collection of material culture, exploring the values, contradictions and material effects of capitalism on the urban landscape. Their practice also involves participatory works, exploring these issues and processes in dialogue with audiences and communities. These different making processes all aim towards a common ambition: rendering complex, abstract socio-economic issues—such as globalization and urban development—visible, located and connected to our everyday lives.
Selected exhibitions and projects include; Person to Person, Carlos/Ishikawa (2020); Local to Global, Carlos/Ishikawa (2018); For Some Future Time, South London Gallery (2018); Bankrupt. Bulk Buy.
