About this event
Please join us to celebrate the opening of our new exhibition The Baroness with a performance by Istanbul Queer Art Collective at 7pm .
For the first time in the UK, a group exhibition dedicated to Dada artist and poet, the Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven (1874–1927) featuring her rare original artworks and manuscript reproductions of poems, alongside contributions by international contemporary artists including Nora Gomringer, Libby Heaney, Caspar Heinemann, Istanbul Queer Art Collective, Zuzanna Janin, Reba Maybury, Sadie Murdoch, Nat Raha, Taqralik Partridge, Liv Schulman, Astrid Seme, and Linda Stupart.
Istanbul Queer Art Collective will present DadaAda Mimosa, a multimedia performance, incorporating live art with video and sound recordings of their previous performance DadaAda.
Istanbul Queer Art Collective (IQAC) is a performance duo, founded by Tuna Erdem and Seda Ergul in 2012, currently based in London. They engage in live art, believing that the documentation of performance is an art form in itself. Their works take into consideration the Jack Halberstam definition of the “queer art of failure” and what Renate Lorenz calls “radical drag”.
Curated by Daria Khan, with support from Carleton University Art Gallery, Ottawa and Owens Art Gallery, Sackville.
With generous support from Arts Council England, Austrian Cultural Forum London, Fluxus Art Projects, Goethe-Institut London, Hallett Independent and High Commission of Canada in the UK.
