Interchange: Hungry Purse February 2, 2008
Toronto, Ontario M5G 2H5
Join Allyson Mitchell and others for a lively discussion of feminist installation art; moderated by Helena Reckitt, Senior Curator of Programmes at The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery.
Hungry Purse: vagina dentata in late capitalism (2006-07) is a labour intensive, room-sized installation that plays with colour and design, consumption and sexuality. Its fundamental concept, vagina dentata, represents some of our most profound individual and collective fears. From floor to ceiling this installation will at once comfort and cocoon, with large pink pillows and soft carpeting, while at the same time create feelings of unease as visitors confront fears of claustrophobia, castration and voracious appetites.
Members $12, Non-members $15, Full-time students Pay-What-You-Can.
Tickets may be purchased at the TMC’s front desk. Please arrive early, seating is limited.
