Hadley+Maxwell borrow the tastes, processes and means of production of other artists and cultural practitioners, employing appropriation, quotation, and deconstruction as extensions of collaborative processes and strategies for interrogating notions of subjectivity. Since 1998, their conceptually driven installations have involved sound, video, sculpture, and two-dimensional media, or temporarily staged situations for large-format photographs. The couple first started working together when they met at Emily Carr Institute in Vancouver, going on to co-write a thesis on collaboration to receive their Masters in Communications from the European Graduate School, Switzerland, in 2004. Their writing and image-based projects have appeared in publications including Art Lies!, the Fillip Review, Modart, Public, C Magazine, and Prefix Photo. In the fall of 2007 they completed a residency, exhibition and publication at Berlin's Künstlerhaus Bethanien. Since then they have particpipated in numerous group exhibitions such as Just Play: Musik als Soziale Praxis at the Edith-Ruß-Haus für Medienkunst (Oldenburg)(2008; If We Can’t Get it Together at the Power Plant, Toronto (2008;How Soon is Now, Vancouver Art Gallery (2009; Nomads, National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa (2009) and An Invitation to an Infiltration, Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver (2010).
In 2010 they had solo exhibitions at SMART Project Space, Amsterdam and the Kunstverein, Göttingen. Hadley + Maxwell have lived in Berlin since 2006.
