Toxic Schizophrenia/Hyper Version, Tim Noble and Sue Webster / MCA DENVER

I see that the first American site specific commission for the British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster is Toxic Schizophrenia/Hyper Version, the largest yet variation on their signature heart and dagger motif. It recently went up in front of the new Museum of Contemprary Art in Denver that was designed by the Nigerian-British architect David Adjaye. Is it just a coincidence that Noble and Webster are old friends of Adjaye's who gave him one of his first highly-publicized commissions, their house and studio in London?

Just asking.
