Dr Rebecca Key has exhibited internationally, and worked as an art director in the film and television industry. Key uses object placement and mise-en-scène techniques, that she refers to as drawing with objects, to examine the relationship between artist and gallery space, and mythologies that surround the creative process within the institution, and other specific sites. "This kind of trickery isn't just one-note high jinks, it's tough love. Once we're familiar with a place, we almost always tune it out. Key jolts us awake by making the familiar strange. For a moment, at least, we're aware of what surrounds us." The Washington Post
