Stefan Gec : The Shepherd's Whistle

16 Feb-27 Apr 2019

John Hansard Gallery
Southampton SO14 7DU

Overview

'The Shepherd's Whistle' comprises the discovery of strategic cities in the UK, created during the Cold War by Soviet Intelligence. Artist Stefan Gec travelled sections of these routes on a reconditioned M-72 Soviet army motorcycle and sidecar from 1972. The exhibition includes documentary footage of this journey, and the work calls upon current issues around identity and migration.
