Description

For the Whitechapel First Thursday of March, and to coincide with Leanne Pearce’s Breastfeeding exhibition, Desperate Artwives will stage a ‘takeover’ of Leyden Gallery, and present a curated programme of performances and interventions, all for free admission. The artists will perform and temporarily install work designed to challenge and excite the audience and consider the political and creative meanings central to domestic and maternal experience.

Nine performances, one for each month of gestation have been chosen:
1- Feminist Pound Shop and The Naughty Corner - Jane Hellings
2- A Balancing Act - Katy Howe
3- Semaphore Aerobics - Susan Merrick
4- Bonnet-Bombers - Fiona Stirling and Amy Russel
5- Do You See Me? - Sexcentenary
6- Double Burden - Delpha Hudson
7- 69 Soft Toys - Dagmara Bilon
8- Falling Apart and Keeping it Together At the Same Time - The Sequel - Slavka Jovanovic
9- Matricide - Angela Lloyd

Desperate Artwives is a collective of accomplished female artists whose creative practice interrogates their experience of being wives and mothers and questions social expectations and values which frame this role. The collective provides the encouragement, the opportunities, the validation and the contextual political framework and lightens the load saving time and providing the resources needed to exhibit and promote their work.

Curators:Emy Dignam and Eti Wade.

Thursday 2nd March: 6pm – 11pm

Free admission. Pre-booking is recommended info@leydengallery.com
