One of the most recent exhibitions of contemporary art that arises some interesting points about the ways art works are perceived is “Changing places” by Phil Sayers and Rikke Lundgreen. It is currently exhibited at Leeds Art Gallery.
Using their contemporary and different viewpoints as a cross-dresser and a woman they challenge the depiction and perception of women in society. Sayers and Lundgreen produced digital photographs, where they model as females, that give different explanation of historical art works, and the current exhibition (“Women are from Venus”) is enhanced with additional meaning that is brought in by their analysis. Their analytical questioning exposes repeating subjects in their work such as women’s obsession with aging; identity and sexuality as equally important and sometimes even meaning the same thing, and it imaginatively tests different sides of our cultural heritage.
