HANNAH PERRY
100 Problems
5 November – 17 December 2016
Contemporary Fine Arts is pleased to announce the exhibition 100 Problems with new works by Hannah Perry (*1984 in Chester, UK). It is the artist’s first solo presentation with the gallery.
Hannah Perry’s fast-cut films are shown as video installations, set up in between big structures of industrial materials, steel scaffoldings, duvets, hair extensions, nail polish, dark rooms, flickering light, with high volume and exhibited as a physical encounter. A stream of voices is capturing the struggle of managing relationships, the constant challenge to contain adolescent emotions as well as gender related themes such as the positioning of a woman in today’s world.
Filming her niece, her guru, herself, text messages, techno clubs, cars, friends: diverse pop-cultural references are intertwined in Hannah Perry’s videos. Fragments of footage and collected images are melted together. The internet with its mergence of the public and the private, short cut and slang language as well as imagery that are omnipresent in social media are strongly influencing Perry’s work while being thoroughly selected and edited within her practice at the same time.
For her exhibition at Contemporary Fine Arts she produced new, site-specific works, as well as a performance entitled Erotic Discourse which will take place at the opening. She is working with choreographer Holly Blakey, DJane Mica Levi and the dancers Naomi Weijand and Grace Jabbari and is creating overlapping interactions.
Hannah Perry lives and works in London. She graduated from Goldsmiths College in 2009 and from the Royal Academy Schools in 2014. Her solo shows include Mercury Retrograde, Seventeen, London; You’re gonna be great, Jeanine Hofland, Amsterdam; Hannah Perry, Zabludowicz Collection, London. Recent institutional group-exhibitions include “If we think bad”, Arsenal Montreal; “Private Settings: Art After the Internet”, MOMA Warsaw; New Order II, Saatchi Gallery, London; A sense of things, Zabludowicz Collection, London; Stedelijk at Trouw: Contemporary Art Club – DATA, Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam.
