FLIPSIDE, Fold Gallery, London
A group exhibition inspired by Ursula Le Guin’s essay, The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction, which challenges the ‘story of the ascent of man the hero’ – a narrative of early human survival through male heroism and hunting. Le Guin refuses the linear, predictable and masculine notion of a ‘hero’ and his ‘story’ and his sword. Instead, she adopts the carrier bag as a cultural device, celebrating and encouraging a more complex and unresolved narrative made up of many different voices and experiences. The featured artists are: Lotte Andersen, Saelia Aparicio, Joel Chan, Phoebe Cummings, Laura dee Milnes, Kira Freije, Roxanne Jackson, Rebecca Jagoe, Lindsey Mendick, Kamile Ofoeme, Paloma Proudfoot, and Rosie Reed.
Until 18 August 2018. www.foldgallery.com
