Barbican Arts Group Trust's studio artists' programme continues with an exhibition of 6 women artists, curated by JJ. Morgan.

About

Raw brings together six women artists in a celebration of the tactile; the real; the handmade.

All of these are evident in the artist’s mark which touches us today as viscerally as pre-historic handprints have always done, reminding us that, no matter who we are, we recognise the human signal that ‘I am here’: living, breathing, going about life in all its messy, chaotic uncertainty and through the medium of a friable body in a frangible world. In this, we are interconnected despite the invidious taxonomy of class, race, religion, gender and in the face of the increasing incursions of digitalisation.

Through this indexical sign of the hand at work, Raw captures decisions made in a specific moment and with specific materials, isolating something evanescent that will never quite happen again; the fly in amber; the nano-second that flies away, the molecules that collide.
