In the new year, there will be a preview of the work produced by Juan Pablo Echeverri during his residency at the Site Gallery, Sheffield:
Diva's Life
Preview: Friday 12 January, 6-8pm
The work will be on show in the gallery from 13 – 27 Jan 2007, Wed – Sat, 11am – 5.30pm.
Juan Pablo Echeverri has been artist in residence at Site Gallery since September. Based in Bogota, Colombia, this is Echeverri’s first visit to the UK. This exhibition is the culmination of the work he has developed during his time in Sheffield and includes a video diary and a series of self-portraits which he has taken every day in a photobooth. Using an array of outlandish and startling outfits and costumes, Echeverri’s work plays with issues of identity and gender, but also contrasts mundane daily activities with a search for the dream of starring in his own pop video.
A joint initiative between Visiting Arts, Ministry of Culture Colombia, British Council, Columbia and Arts Council England
