h()our 8 and 9 is a new media collective comprised of Scottish musician Caroline Pugh, visual artist Lucy Irvine and performer Helen Cuinn. All three come from Scotland, Caroline lives in Belfast, Lucy in Melbourne and Helen in Glasgow. (h)our 8 and 9 was conceived to provide a support platform for the individual exploratory practices, experiment with physical and mental distance and to create a body of work through discussion, miscommunication and the sharing of ways to make. Each of the individuals involved are employed and engaged across art forms and have an interest in expanding their understanding of the term 'art form'.
