THE PERFORMANCEs START AT 11.00AM and 2pm
British artist Florence Peake's touring exhibition and performace will be presented at Fruitmarket, Edinburg, later this month.
Within the performance, large exuberantly painted canvases are folded, dragged and suspended by five dancers, moving between flat and sculptural forms and theatrical elements of concealment and revelation.
Peake looks at the idea of the collapse of the canon of white Western classical painting through the literal manipulation of the large canvases as they are collapsed in form, addressing institutional power structures by looking for ways in which we can overcome them. After four performances of 90 minutes, the canvases will remain as an installation in the space.
The exhibition will be open between 21-29 October 2023.
