The third exhibition in Richard Saltoun Gallery's year-long series of exhibitions inspired by Hannah Arendt explores the political philosopher's essay 'What is Authority?' The group presentation features work by Lili DUJOURIE, Everlyn NICODEMUS and Lerato SHADI.

'On Hannah Arendt: Eight Proposals for Exhibition' looks to one of the most important thinkers of the post-war generation to confront some of the most pressing socio-political issues of our time.

From January until December 2021, 'On Hannah Arendt' will feature eight exhibitions that seek to explore the questions put forth in the eight chapters of Arendt’s book 'Between Past and Future: Eight Exercises in Political Thought.' The entire programme features over 20 international artists, including Siah ARMAJANI, Lili DUJOURIE, Peter KENNARD, Vivienne KOORLAND, Everlyn NICODEMUS, Lerato SHADI, ULAY and more.

The Belgian artist Lili DUJOURIE rose to prominence in the late 1960s, emerging as a key force in the Feminist avant-garde movement of the time. Dujourie’s exhibition at Richard Saltoun Gallery – her first show with the gallery and her first exhibition in London in over twenty years – focuses on her relationship with nature, specifically the poetry and art it evokes. The exhibition features sculptures made from clay, the essence of the earth, as well as a recent series of papier-mâché sculptures that explore the artist’s long-standing interest in plants and their healing qualities.

From March 2019 to March 2020, Richard Saltoun Gallery dedicated 100% of its exhibition and art fair programme to women artists. Titled 100% Women, the initiative was implemented to address the gender inequality that persists in the art world and encourage wider industry action through debate, dialogue and collaboration. It is now a leader in its representation of female artists, from avant-garde pioneers of the 1960s and ‘70s to a younger generation of female artists working today. It continues to support female artists through extensive research, partnerships and solo presentations at the gallery and online.
