Kate Davis Not Just the Perfect Moments Kate Davis presents newly commissioned drawings and recent works exhibited in London for the first time. Questioning how to bear witness to the complexities of the past, Davis’s artwork is an attempt to reconsider what certain histories could look, sound and feel like. Focusing on ideologies perpetuated through certain approaches to the teaching and viewing of drawing, Not Just the Perfect Moments is an attempt, informed by the art and writings of Jo Spence, and by the actions of militant suffragette Mary Raleigh Richardson, to re-examine and unpick some of the ways in which representational practices, such as drawing, have constructed and complicated perceptions of the female body. Not Just the Perfect Moments will present a new installation drawn from images of works by Jo Spence in various archives; an exploration of instructional drawing material; and Davis’ installation, Curtain I – VII which references Mary Raleigh Richardson's slashing of Velasquez's painting The Toilet of Venus at the National Gallery, London in 1914, and the subsequent concealment of that act. Spence’s groundbreaking photographic works often asked who owned images and especially images of the body. In this exhibition, as is the case with much of Davis’ practice, photography and drawing are brought into close relation, and both are questioned as techniques for challenging, creating and caring for representations of the body. - Drawing Room, Tannery Arts, 12 Rich Estate, Crimscott Street, London SE1 5TE, [email protected] , www.drawingroom.org.uk, Tel: 0207 394 5657, FREE ADMISSION, Tue/ Wed/ Thur/ Fri 11am till 6pm Sat 12 – 6pm Tube: Bermondsey, London Bridge, Borough, from London Bridge it is a twelve minute walk and Borough station is a ten minute walk.
