24 February 2020 • Mark Westall
Breaking the Mould is the first extensive survey of post-war British sculpture by artists identifying as women in a public institution.
Tag: Sarah Lucas
Sarah Lucas (born 1962) is an English artist. She is part of the generation of Young British Artists who emerged in 1988. Her works frequently employ visual puns and bawdy humour by incorporating photography, sculpture, collage and found objects.
Drawing inspiration from art history, Lucas cleverly incorporates toilet bowls, reminiscent of Duchamp’s iconic urinal, into her works – a seamless integration of the ready-made concept.
Intriguingly, her figures remain headless, with only the artist’s face appearing repeatedly through a sequence of captivating self-portraits. Stained mattresses and furniture act as unique plinths, juxtaposed against surreal domestic wallpapers.

Politics & Nature: unnatural and natural states of the world at 56th International Art Exhibition La Biennale di Venezia
13 May 2015 • Lee Sharrock
Arriving in Venice for the vernissage days whilst elections were in full swing, I was surprised to be confronted by a politically charged Biennale. Colonialism, Capitalism, Socialism, contemporary slavery and migration were some of the themes running through the 56th Edition of La Biennale di Venezia, which opened not long after a period of several weeks during which more than 1,800 migrants – many of them African – drowned whilst attempting to flee across the Mediterranean to Europe..
