About
This exhibition combines films made by Rosalind Nashashibi and Lucy Skaer with their personal selection of historic and contemporary art that reflects on and adds new meaning to their work.
Using 16mm film, Nashashibi/Skaer’s collaborative projects often evolve from the art and artists that inspire them.
For the first time, the full extent of their practice is shown alongside significant works by artists including Paul Gauguin, Henri Matisse, Paul Nash, Winifred Nicholson, Lee Miller and Rossella Biscotti.
Each of their films becomes a starting point to explore key themes that resonate across the exhibition, from the changing portrayal of women and the representation of global cultures, to issues around conflict.
