Flipping the Gaze, an interview by Hundred Heroines with Postures & Posers curator Brenna Horrox
Postures & Posers is a new exhibition of photographic work by artists (and Heroines) Yushi Li and Alix Marie, curated by director of HI-NOON Artist Print Editions, Brenna Horrox.
Postures & Posers builds on Historical Heroine Marianne Wex’s iconic installation, ‘Let’s Take Back Our Space’, first exhibited in Germany, in 1977. Both artists in Postures & Posers, use different strategies to challenge stereotypically gendered ideas around the notion of ‘the gaze’, especially in relation to the body and desire. Yushi Li’s dynamic tableaux style portraits re-stage some of the gendered orthodoxies around subject and object that abound in the canon of the history of Western art, whilst Alix Marie’s multi-disciplinary installations explore the representation of bodies through a kind of radical abstraction.
