Geddes Gallery presents, IMPOSED TRANSITIONS, a solo exhibition of new work by Renee Spierdijk curated by Cornelia Marland . The exhibition runs from Thursday 17th until Sunday 20th December 2015 in the atmospheric space of the Geddes Gallery on Caledonian Road in Kings Cross, London.
About
Renee’s work is inspired by images of young girls and women originating from found photographs. Renee chooses portraits of children who are posed in formal clothes and settings frequently holding or surrounded by political or religious artefacts. She is interested in the process of domestication and conditioning which the children seem to be subjected to and in which they appear patient, content or quietly mutinous as they wait and hope to become themselves.
About the artist:
Renee’s work has been shown internationally. In 2010 she was elected a member of the Art Workers Guild and in 2012 was a visiting fellow at Rutgers University in New Jersey USA as part of the Institute for Women and Art, working at the Brodsky Center for Innovative prints.
About The Space
Geddes Gallery: Geddes Gallery is a pop up gallery that is currently located in a building that was previously the wonderful Italian deli, K C Continental at 26 Caledonian Road. This unique space was the local deli of our namesake, Jim Geddes (1932-2009) who lived next door. Geddes was a prolific artist who created hundreds of ceramics in his basement, which he had turned into an art studio.
