Robins, Freddie, 2011, Show, Exhibition or Event, He's behind you
Abstract or Description: | ‘He’s behind you’ was exhibited in the joint show, ‘Fifties, Fashion and Emerging Feminism: a contemporary response’ held at Collyer Bristow Gallery, London (2011) and curated by Lucy Day and Eliza Gluckman. Robins’ work referred to the oppression experienced by many women in the 1950s, a period of social change associated with the idealism of the Festival of Britain. ‘He’s behind you’ presented a small, fragile, slightly distorted knitted ‘skin’ hanging in a cramped, dark, wooden wardrobe. Robins presented her knitted work as a critical response to the celebratory historical displays of 1950s fabrics in the exhibition. |
