SuttonBeresCuller is a group of three Seattle based artists—John Sutton, Ben Beres, and Zac Culler—who have worked collaboratively since 2000. The trio’s work ranges in presentation from gallery works, to installation, performance, and public projects. Working in and outside of traditional gallery settings, they aim to engage and provoke unsuspecting audiences with their works which are often not what they seem.
SuttonBeresCuller’s work plays on identity, perception, and instinct. They create playful scenarios by reinterpreting archetypal objects and transforming them in material, space, and place. They have completed several public projects and commissions around the Seattle area and along the west coast. SuttonBeresCuller is represented by Greg Kucera Gallery in Seattle.
