Sharon Hayes : In My Little Corner of the World, Anyone Would Love You

15 Apr-5 Jun 2016

Overview

Hayes will use video, as well as reproduced and reconstructed posters, prints, newsletters and photographs, to build a new large-scale installation. The artist is interested in the limits of gender and the historic and contemporary ways in which feminist and queer political collectives continually expand and constrain gender expression. These new works will serve to interrogate the genealogy of our current moment in feminism and queer politics, paying particular attention to the persistent violence that attends women who claim attention in a public space. This exhibition forms part of How To Work Together and is co-commissioned with The Common Guild in Glasgow.
