Beauty & The Beast of Burden
Preview: Friday 20 May 2011, 7 – 9pm
Open: Saturday 21 May – Sunday 5 June, 12 – 6pm
Closed: Mondays and Tuesdays
BEAUTY AND THE BEAST OF BURDEN is an exhibition of 8 artists from UK, USA, Sweden and Basque at Limousine Bull gallery, Aberdeen.
Curated by Dane Sutherland.
The opening night will include a LIVE AKTION by Kylie Minoise, as part of an accompanying off-site installation, which may be visited throughout the week.
The diverse mixture of emerging and internationally established artists are brought together at Limousine Bull gallery in an exhibition that explores the relationship between aesthetic representation and activity. Here, activity encompasses fields such as activism; labour; raw, abstract activity; and the active engagement of the 'viewer'. Can the ugly truth of laborious activity be responsibly translated through a criterion of beauty?
Curator-led discussion on Friday 27 May 1 -2.30pm
