Backlog - London Gallery Visit 26.02.11

My aim for this visit is not only to see artist's works relevant to mine in both their execution and their theory, by also to see how they present their photographic work.

In London I visited Louise Bourgeois and Tracey Emin's joint exhibition at Hauser and Wirth Do Not Abandon Me.

These works showed contrast between gender - a feminine, curvy, pregnant body set apart from a male block like body with an erect penis. These works are about sexuality, identity and the idea of loss or abandonment. The images were presented in plain frames that don't distract from the image themselves.
