Practising Beauty
28 July - 27 August 2000
in the
Hirschfeld
Gallery
Louise Bourgeois has defined beauty as ‘a series of experiences’. It is the sensory seduction, the intellectual epiphany, the coming together of mind and body in a glimpsed intensity which is beautiful because it eludes permanent capture. The artists in Practising Beauty—Catherine Bagnall, Kathy Barry, Emma Febvre-Richards and Maddie Leach—explore both the construction of beauty as an active part of artistic practice, and the beauty suffused in the practice of viewing art.
