Izabela Brudkiewicz / Monica Ross archive

About

Booking by Eventbrite or at dodoinformation@yahoo.com

To coincide with the Platform exhibition at Phoenix Art Space, Gallery Dodo has invited ex-platform nominee Izabela Brudkiewicz to show some recent work alongside documents she has selected from the Monica Ross (1950-2013) archive.

Since the birth of her first child, Izabela has made the responsibilities and demands of parenthood part of the material of her practice, confronting the argument that a woman cannot be fully committed as both artist and mother. This show includes two from a series of pieces in which she has reappropriated canonical works of the 20th century avant-garde, re-examining them through the dynamic of the mother/child relationship. In addition, she has made a new work specifically for the show which recontextualises Monica’s performative prose piece history or not.

Pioneering feminist artist Monica Ross came to prominence in the mid-to-late 1970s as one of the contributors to the Women’s Postal Art Event. Maintaining a practice which included video, drawing, text, installation and performance, she left behind an important body of socially and politically engaged work. From the 1990s Ross became increasingly concerned with issues of memory, time and the archaeology of the present. Her archive, until recently, was held in storage in the room below DODO on Phoenix’s south stairwell.

Gallery DODO and Izabela would like to thank Bernard Mills for his kind permission to work with the Monica Ross archive.
