LADY LUCY
Whitechapel Gallery Staff Portrait Studio
18 March-22 May 2011
Gallery 5&6
In the corridors of the Houses of Parliament and the back rooms of third division football clubs, hang portraits of heads of state and treasured past employees. Artist Lady Lucy follows in this tradition, and uses portraiture as a process of communication and interaction.
She led a group of young people aged 16-19 in setting-up a portrait studio at the Gallery, where staff from the Gallery were invited to sit and reveal aspects of themselves and the institution. Step behind the scenes of the Whitechapel Gallery to view the organisation’s pantheon of staff portraits.
