Event overview
As part of the Visual Cultures Guest Lecture Series, artist Jo Longhurst will be speaking on her study of the British Whippet.
Jo will talk about 'The Refusal,' her study of the British Whippet, with a focus on conventions of portraiture, perfect body form, and the contradictory controlling/loving relationship between human and dog, and Other Spaces, an ongoing project, developed alongside an artist-led symposium for the Whitechapel Gallery, which switches her enquiry from the ideal body to the perfect performance, exploring the physical and emotional experiences of elite gymnasts.
JO LONGHURST is a London-based artist. Recent exhibitions include Krakow Photomonth, Kunsthalle zu Kiel, NGBK, Berlin National Media Museum & Museum Folkwang, Essen. New works are supported by a Leverhulme fellowship and a NMeM Photography Bursary.
