We all experience birth – and yet, unlike sex and death (art’s favourite subjects) encounters with birth in contemporary art are rare. Birth is the universal subject – so why is it so obviously absent in contemporary art?
About
This group show, curated with Charlotte Jansen, explores the representation of birth and surrounding topics, from pregnancy to egg freezing, and the taboo, trauma, joy, pain, and psychological and physical realms it inhabits.
