Find out more about the project and hear from our curator about how and why Tobin brought it to Kettle’s Yard.
Made in 1986 during a performance in which Rose Garrard transformed a corner shop into a plaster casting studio, these sculptures juxtapose images of historic women artists and page three girls from the Sun newspaper. They are both a document of the gender politics of the 1980s, and a protest at the exclusion of women artists from the history of art and the objectification of women in the British press. This is the first time the works have been exhibited since 1994.
This valuable professional development evening provides an opportunity for creative educators to further understand the schools offer at Kettle’s Yard, whilst creating an informal environment for educators to develop arts skills and foster new ideas and creative practise.
