Oh we will, we will, will we by Joanne Tatham & Tom O’Sullivan was two-part commission, comprising a large-scale sculptural installation and a body of associated research activity, which was launched at a public event during the show.

Oh we will, we will, will we was an opportunity for the artists to frame and re-present their characteristic signs and symbols by using and re-combining elements of past pieces, re-appropriating their own work, creating another system of meaning or thinking about meaning. To supplement this work, taking place sideways of the main exhibition, Tatham & O’Sullivan also undertook a series of research activities in collaboration with Fiona Jardine. Although open-ended and without a determined outcome, the focus was on expanding the mythic potential of the signs that their work had previously explored.
