LAY OF THE LAND (and other such myths)
\nAirSpace Gallery<\/a>, Stoke-on-Trent
\nFriday 5 May \u2013 Friday 2 June 2017
\nOpen daily\u00a0Thursday to Saturday 11.00am – 5.00pm (& Tuesdays and Wednesdays by appointment)<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As part of her current solo exhibition at AirSpace Gallery, Stoke-on-Trent, Victoria Lucas is holding two events on Saturday 20 May 2017<\/p>\n

The Artist Soup Kitchen
\n<\/strong>Reflections of Belongings and Becomings: Art, Maternity and Family Art Activism with Dr. Paula McCloskey<\/strong>
\nSaturday 20 May, 12noon-2.00pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2016, the performance artist Marina Abramovic said that having children would have been \u2018a disaster for her work\u2019. She went on to say that, \u2018In my opinion that\u2019s the reason why women aren\u2019t as successful as men in the art world. There\u2019s plenty of talented women. Why do men take over the important positions? It\u2019s simple. Love, family, children \u2013 a woman doesn\u2019t want to sacrifice all of that.\u2019<\/p>\n

Her words follow other female artists, such as Tracey Emin who, when interviewed in The Independent, said: \u2018There are\u00a0good artists that have children. Of course there are. They are called men. Mothers are too \u201cemotionally torn.\u201d\u2019 Recently, there has been a proliferation of women artists who are exploring maternity in all its myriad forms.<\/p>\n

In this Soup\u00a0Kitchen, Dr. Paula McCloskey will explore the challenges facing artists with young families. What does it mean to be an\u00a0artist and a mother? How do you test and challenge the existing art structures and models of traditional art\u00a0institutions? And, how do you juggle the demands of parenting young children alongside artistic and other paid labour,\u00a0often with little or no support?<\/p>\n
