BABY DO YOU HEAR ME

Entry: FREE ENTRY
To coincide with ‘International Women’s Day 2008′ Novas Contemporary Urban Centre presents Baby Do You Hear Me, an exhibition of contemporary female artists working across a range of media. The exhibition offers a cross-cultural space to contemplate the ever-relevant question of gender roles within society.

The works approach this subject with varying strategies of address, from an historical, symbolic almost mythological use of imagery to an explicit, interrogative act. The artist’s utilisation of the exhibition as a medium of empowerment and dialogue is not an attempt at subversive gesture but operating with a captivating honesty, a tactical persuasion on an apparently level playing field.

Themes of power, bias emancipation and stereotype remain stimulating subjects for productive discussion.

Artists:
Agata Cardoso
Ato Abe
Bindu Mehra
Chloe Roach
Gina Pierce
GXJacques
Judith Gait
Nicola Smith
Rachel Graves
Victoria Melody

Booked

I’ve booked my three portfolio reviewers for Hamburg. I’m going to see Jim Casper, Krzysztof Candrowicz and Zuzana Lapitkova.

Website Building

I’ve been spending the past few days building a website for myself. I haven’t used Dreamweaver for a few years and it’s taken me ages to refresh my memory on it all. Still, I’ll persevere with intermittent shouting and cursing, and hopefully in the next couple of weeks I’ll have a first version online. Woo. ^_^

Hamburg Photo Triennial

 I’ve just booked some flights to the Hamburg Photo Triennial which is happening in April. I’m pretty excited about it all. I haven’t decided which reviewers to choose yet. It’ll be my first proper portfolio review session so I’m a bit nervous but I’m glad to be getting a start on it all before I graduate. I’ll be sure to write up about my experiences here in case anybody is interested.  I’d better get working on my portfolio then…
