Ken Tucky and Bo W Ling-Green are two of the west’s great performance artists. Operating on the fringes of the avant-garde, Ken and Bo are frequently chastised in the tabloid press for their work. Never afraid to raise problematic subjects such as honey-theft or drive-by earwigs, they are attacked from all sides of the political spectrum.

In 1992, their first short film Lopsided Cankers was banned throughout Borneo for its portrayal of bendy ethics, and until this day remains unseen by any reigning Pope. But it was their 2004 work Let’s Sniff the Bugler that led them to be outcasts from all respectable platforms in the civilised world. The entire planet is under a court order banning mention of the details, but the living sculpture encompassed such livid themes as Eyebrow-rustling, arguments with a rasher of bacon, twelve-gallon hats and entropy.

They currently reside in Ipswich.
