London:
Joana Vasconcelos
In July Haunch of Venison presents I Will Survive the first survey exhibition of Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos to take place in London.
I Will Survive - taken from the tune made popular by Gloria Gaynor in 1978 - transports us to a world of embroidery and crochet, sex and simulacra. Of particular interest is the way in which contemporary technological and ethical advancements challenge traditional ideas surrounding identity. Finding her inspiration in the popular imagination and examining various themes of daily life, Vasconcelos focuses on the politics of gender, national identity and class

Prints & Editions
Chiharu Shiota
Remembering the distressing memory of waking up one day and feeling as if her entire bedroom was entwined or knotted in black, Chiharu Shiota started working on 'room-filling', impenetrable installations made of black thread. While the actual installations arise from the artist's desire to 'draw in the air', this edition brings the memory to a more intimate scale.
