In Conversation with Sadie Lee

About

In the show, Sadie Lee continues her investigation into ways of presenting gender, and the constructed and performative nature of costume and stance through both dressing up and dressing down. Through her portraits Lee discusses and focuses on the shifting nature of binary and non-binary definitions of gender and identity and through her choice of sitters focuses on the people and the moments in our recent history that have marked milestone changes in the perception of gender that have changed and continue to change society. The exhibition also features the collection Sadie Does Sandy, in which the artist has painted six portraits of the legendary costume designer Sandy Powell.
