11th January – 1st February 2014 Space In Between Unit 26 Regent Studios 8 Andrews Road London, E8 4QN
This is Jennifer Bailey’s first solo show with the gallery.
This forthcoming exhibition is concerned with the construction of social identity within highly circumscribed public spaces. In Sarah, everyday objects, text and photographic works are contained within furniture or display systems based on those found in retail spaces or offices.
Bailey’s work is about the self-representation of the individual via lifestyle choices and an investigation into the visual codes that constitute authenticity. Her practice sometimes takes her family as subject or material, and their inclusion is related to wider interests including the ‘performance’ of social class and attitudes to paid work, food and childrearing. Her work involves writing, exhibition making, publishing projects, photography and sculpture.
