The artists are included in exhibitions at institutions all around the world and have been shown at major art shows, including the Venice Biennale, Documenta Kassel, Carnegie International Pittsburg and Prospect in New Orleans. They have received important art prizes, including the most prestigious award of all, the Praemium Imperiale.
