‘Nomansland’ – fine art exhibition by Brigitte Watkinson

Thursday, 03 June 2021 by CHaCAdmin

We are very excited to be showing Brigitte Watkinson’s ‘Nomansland’ from 14th September to 5th October 2021. Why not join us for the Private View on Thursday, 16th September from 19:00 to 21:00!

Born and raised in Bavaria, Brigitte previously studied and taught languages before focussing on art. She maintains a particular interest in language, its semantics and social contexts. Drawing on day to day conversations, literal translations and often poking fun at political rhetoric and propaganda, she employs metaphors, materials and methods to ravel and unravel communication processes and to create new narratives. Mainly self-taught, she has been working as a full-time artist for a number of years, culminating in her recent MA in Fine Arts. As a result, her work has evolved to incorporate additional disciplines including sculpture, collage, installation, animation and photography.

We look forward to seeing you on 16th September for wine, an insight into a utopian future and fantastic artwork!

You can see more of Brigitte’s work on her web page: www.makeslugsbeautiful.co.uk

NOMANSLAND

You call me woMAN,

but I am not MAN

You call me huMAN,

but I am not MAN

You talk of MANkind,

but I am not MAN?

I long for noMANsland,

where we are all dunkwonhami.

History is made and posthumanism pondered as the status quo for humanity shifts.

Based on scientific evidence that the first human was female, my speculations around feminist language result in fabulations of past, present and a utopian future. Through time and via a patriarchal Vitruvian Action Man©, I depict humans evolving from this original mother into dunkwonhami, who inhabit the protective landscape of the Cluechenthu.

Anagrams, metaphors, methods and materials twist and turn like a Rubik’s cube, offering and creating new narratives. Gender, language and process intra-act.

Words, images, objects and meanings are made and remade. The recycled, the homemade, the pilfered and the found are constructed and reconstructed; the story unfolds.
