About Anne Tallentire
Anne Tallentire (b. 1949, County Armagh, Northern Ireland) lives and works in London, UK. Her practice encompasses moving image, sculpture, installation, performance, and photography. Through visual and textual interrogation of everyday materials and structures, Tallentire’s work seeks to reveal systems that shape the built environment and the economics of labour. Her recent work has examined geographical dislocation and demarcation in relation to infrastructure. From 1993, Tallentire has also made work as part of the artist duo work-seth/tallentire with artist John Seth. She is also the co-organiser, with Chris Fite-Wassilak, of the peripatetic event series ‘hmn’.
About the speakers
Dr Amy Tobin
Tobin is Curator of Contemporary Programmes at Kettle’s Yard, Associate Professor in the Department of History of Art at the University of Cambridge, and Director of Studies in History of Art and Fellow of Newnham College. Tobin’s research has focused on histories of feminism and art, and more broadly on radical forms of relation and the politics of togetherness in modern and contemporary art. She recently published Women Artists Together: Art in the Age of Women’s Liberation (Yale University Press, 2023).
Here is a Gale Warning: Art, Crisis & Survival
This exhibition presents eight contemporary artists whose works offer vantage points on a world in perpetual crisis. Rather than representing specific political events, or taking singular positions, each artist in this exhibition explores broader conditions of domination and conflict, as well as horizons for survival.
Here is a Gale Warning will feature works by Pia Arke, Justin Caguiat, Rose Finn-Kelcey, Candace Hill-Montgomery, Tomashi Jackson, Tarek Lakhrissi, Anne Tallentire, and Cecilia Vicuña.
