Lost in Lust: the Representation and Mis-representation of Woman at SCOPE, New York
Booth H13
7th-11th March 2012
Lost in Lust: the Representation and Mis-representation of Woman is a group project. Each of the artists involved has a distinct voice in this debate and each approach the idea of “woman” from different vantage points. A mixture of photography, video, object-based work, drawing and performance, the project will challenge notions of femininity and representation.
Ursula Burke, Allan Hughes, Jenny Keane, Deirdre McKenna, Katherine Nolan and Maurice Doherty combine to carry on the Golden Thread Gallery’s tradition of platforming the work of Northern Irish based artists and those influenced by time spent here. Each of the artists both covertly and explicitly play with the idea of exploitation and question who, if anyone, is being exploited. Voyeurism, pornography, myth and tradition are all explored and our attitudes queried and interrogated.
With live performances by Katherine Nolan at the preview.
If you’re attending the fair this year please do drop by our stand, we will be more than happy to show you around the exhibition. Hope to see you there.
