Parsons & Charlesworth is an art and design studio in Chicago that creates objects, exhibits, texts, and images encouraging reflection on the current and future state of our designed culture. Having both studied at the Royal College of Art and moved to Chicago in 2010 to teach at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago founders Tim Parsons and Jessica Charlesworth set up their studio in 2014. As Parsons & Charlesworth they craft glimpses into alternate realities, telling stories with objects and inviting thoughtful questioning of contemporary life. They practice an investigative, research-driven, speculative approach to art and design that uses installation as a means of engaging viewers in critical topics through the use of storytelling. They have exhibited in galleries, museums, institutions, and festivals around the world including the Philadelphia Museum of Art; Museu de Arte, Arquitetura e Tecnologia, Lisbon; Science Gallery Dublin; Chicago Cultural Center; 2nd Istanbul Design Biennial, Turkey, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, Wanted Design, New York City; and the London Design Festival, among others.
