Conspirmus

We are a group of cross disciplinary artists coming together to conceptualize and implement work. Our focus is on site specificity, reworked materials and socially engaged formats. Core members and creative principals are Glenn Messersmith and Suzanne Morlock.

Our name Conspirmus comes from the first person plural conjugation of the Latin verb conspirare — conspiramus, literally meaning together we breathe, but is generally translated as we conspire or agree, plot, unite, etc. The slight misspelling is intentional. We arrived at it from a phrase we encountered during one of our projects in Finland: "A sisu conspiracy." Sisu is a Finnish word which is said to have no direct translation into English, but roughly means (according to Wikipedia) "stoic determination, bravery, guts, resilience, perseverance and hardiness".

Together we are thus a sisu conspiracy of sorts. We are Conspirmus.
