Isolation Room/Gallery Kit: Saturday, 16 April 2011
Alison Jackson: Kate and Wills (officer)
April 9 - 29, 2011
High Tea Reception: Saturday, April 16, 2011 from 3pm-5pm
Hours: By appointment only.
Alison Jackson's photography examines the modern cult of the celebrity by showing them ostensibly caught unawares, revealing what we imagine behind closed doors. The work hovers between parody and realism by seeming to break down the carefully masked private lives of public figures. But of course all the figures in her photographs are dopplegangers. Her eye turns the magical celebrity image around and makes it palpable in its inherent absurdity asking us the question: What can the public know of people whom they do not, in
fact,know?
