Yorkshire born Margaret Harrison is one of today’s most significant artists. For over 50 years, she has been challenging the establishment with a humorous, feminist, subversive and immensely skillful practice that has been highly effective in forcing real changes in social attitudes.
Using a range of media and subjects, the exhibition features two existing installations: The Last Gaze, presented for the Northern Art Prize in 2013 and Common Reflections (2013), a representation of the fence at Greenham Common, produced using concrete, wire fencing, corrugated zinc and mirror panels. Also on show will be drawings, including the Beautiful Ugly Violence series, a critique of domestic violence; and Very Close To Getting In Touch With My Masculinity, a series of satirical representations of superheroes with female attributes.
