Matter Out of Place: An exhibition of paintings and screenprints at Ulster University Art Gallery,

Majella Clancy (Artist), Louise Wallace (Curator)

Research output: Non-textual formExhibition

Abstract

Matter Out of Place takes its title from Lauren Elkin’s recent book Art Monsters: Unruly Bodies in Feminist Art in which Elkin describes the female body as ‘always matter out of place’ through its refusal to conform and be brought into line by perceived notions of femininity. This exhibition of new work brings together ideas around the gendered body, its relationship to motherhood and material making. Clancy draws from life, building up a lexicon of experiential references which are then foregrounded through her painting and printmaking practice.
