Freeshow Seymour Compilation

Freeshow Seymour is the collaborative effort of Allyson Mitchell and Christina Zeidler, who came together to explore their mutual crush on film-craft. Individually, they have been making work since 1994. In 2003 they both attended the Big Rock Candy Mountain residency at The Banff Centre, where they joined forces to highlight the work they are doing on candy and consumption and to explore their love of film. The basis of Freeshow Seymour is process. The two artists meet and see what evolves out of being together – whether it is films, music, crafts, performance or just thrift-store shopping. Their artworks blend familiar pop-culture and weirdo fringe identities to explore emotionally dangerous territory; the result is a bittersweet ride through joy and tragedy. Collectively, Freeshow Seymour is a talisman against anxieties which marks the benefit of jumping off the precipice: exploding art practices and art fears.
