About

8 October to 9 November 2014, Wednesday — Sunday from 11am — 4pm. Preview: Sunday, 5 October from 3 — 5pm. CGP”ˆLondon announce a new exhibition by Sharon Kivland. Entitled Folles de leur corps / Crazy about their bodies, the exhibition, which considers the relation between women and their bodies, will include a library, with an occasional librarian,à‚ and one-off events:à‚ aà‚ screening of the full-lenth version of Peter Watkins' film La Commune (Paris, 1871),à‚  and anà‚ agit-disco with Stefan Szczelkun and Howard Slater. Kivland's work investigates how our lives are governed by systems of order that complement,à‚ overlap and contradict one another while undergoing periods of change. Apart from her activities as an artist, writer and curator, Kivland also engages in theoretical investigations, both teaching as Reader in Fine Art at Sheffield Hallam University and as a Research Associate of the Centre for Freudian Analysis and Research in London. She has described her practice as one of stupid refinement, trapped in archives, libraries, the arcades, and the intersection of public political action and private subjectivity.
