THE JOHN HOUR: Producing a body of work which is whimsical yet sinister; familiar yet alien, the three emerging artists—Emma Gibson, Emily Pugh and Raven Smith—functioning collectively under the moniker, The John Hour, continue to investigate and challenge the universally understood rules for a coherent modern society. With photography, set design and installation as their combined media, the trio rigorously explore personal and universal reactions to the construction of the world we live in.

Amongst many bloggers, one of our favourite pieces of Selfridges window coverage is from FRAME magazine.


Highly captivating are the installations by The John Hour, an art collective that was given five windows. Passers-by catch a glimpse of a brass orchestra controlled by an iPod, or hundreds of tennis rackets challenging a Nintendo Wii.

To coincide with their latest window project - Bright Young Things, Selfridges has asked artistic trio the John Hour to takeover four windows at Selfridges London.

Known collectively as The John Hour, the artists Emma Gibson, Emily Pugh and Raven Smith had their first European show in December 2010 and now have the opportunity to display their work in the windows of the worlds best department store.

Continuing in their aim to challenge the rules of modern society, The John Hour has created four installations featuring paralleled objects, which represent a clash of lowbrow and highbrow culture.
