Exhibition - Jacqueline Doyen
For our outdoor exhibition, we have invited French artist Jacqueline Doyen, whose work focuses on the relationship between the human body and its environment.
50 foot woman
The realisation has elements of both sculpture and performance - the constructions that Jacqueline Doyen creates are objects that at first glance seem familiar, but the attempt to understand how they are handled or used is irritating.
While her previous works often required clear poses from the user, the dimensions of the piece, specifically planned for the umbrella's wildflower field, hardly allow for this interaction.
The piece references the idea of the 20 metre tall woman, first addressed in the 1958 sci-fi film ‘Attack of the 50 Foot Woman’, and therefore suggests an oversized female body that stands in stunning contrast to nature.
Every Saturday and Sunday, 14:00 - 18:00 from 26 April to 28 September
