Marvin Gaye Chetwynd : Hermitos Children 2

12 Oct-14 Dec 2014

Studio Voltaire
London SW4 7JR

Overview

Marvin Gaye Chetwynd’s new film Hermitos Children 2 is the artist’s largest commission to date. Chetwynd has become well known for her carnivalesque live performances, which feature homemade costumes and a varying ensemble of friends and family. These performances share elements of the bawdy anarchy of sixteenth-century wandering troupes, foregrounding key moments from art history and cultural production. The film will be presented in the gallery within a large-scale installation incorporating a number of props and interiors.
