Gee Vaucher is an internationally renowned political artist, known for
her 'radical creativity', montages, and iconic record sleeve artwork for
the famous anarchist-pacifist band Crass. Vaucher has always seen her
work as a tool for social change, using surrealist styles and methods,
and a DIY aesthetic to create powerful images exploring political and
personal issues.
Gee Vaucher has been working as an artist in the
UK since the 1960's but is yet to have a major retrospective of her
work in a UK public institution. In Autumn 2016 Firstsite, located in
Colchester (UK), will host a retrospective her work, co-curated by
Stevphen Shukaitis and Marie-France Kittler. This exhibition will
re-affirm her position as a counter-cultural artistic force whose
influence on local, national and international visual art and
cross-disciplinary contexts deserves to be explored. Gee Vaucher:
Introspective will celebrate the rich history of art and activism both
on a local and national level. It will not only look back to the radical
spirit of the 60's, 70's and 80's, but is also an opportunity to engage
audiences in important social debates taking place today.
This
catalog will be the first in-depth publication examining the vast range
of her work including painting, collage, video, performance art,
design, and installation works.
