ADELAIDE DAMOAH: GENESIS

Genesis will see British artist Adelaide Damoah, member of the Black British Female Artist Collective, present a new and ambitious body of work exploring sexuality, gendered subjectivity and race. Simultaneously referencing and inverting Yves Klein’s 1960 performance Anthropométrie de l’époque bleue, which saw the artist use female participants as malleable  ‘printmaking tools’, Damoah has instead assumed the role of living paint brush, using her own body to make painterly gestures, exerting her power as a black female artist.

(In)visible

Taking place between 9 - 14 October 2018 to coincide with World Mental Health Day on 10 October, (In)visible will feature a group of artists who use their work to convey life’s difficulties. Curated by Amy Oliver and Jenni Bea, who were brought together by Instagram and share similar work themes, aesthetics and motivations.

The exhibition will feature work specifically produced as self-expression, communication and therapeutic release. With themes often thought of as taboo such as mental illness, addiction, abuse, and domestic violence, this exhibition promotes honesty and non-censorship. We aim to create a visually stimulating, thought-provoking, inclusive and engaging event that ignites discussion, tackles stigmas and unites artist and audience.
