Die KuenstlerInnengruppe Henry VIIIs Wives wurde 1997 von sechs Kuenstlerinnen und Kuenstlern (Rachel Dagnall, Robert Grieve, Sirko Knuepfer, Simon Polli, Per Sander, Lucy Skaer) gegründet und hat an zahlreichen internationalen Ausstellungsprojekten teilgenommen, zuletzt in Eindhoven und Belgrad. Im Aktualisierungsraum zeigt das Kollektiv die dreiteilige Videoprojektion Mr. Hysteria (2005) sowie Dokumentationsmaterial zu Tatlins Tower and the World.
