Wednesday 27 November 2024 from 5pm at the Paul Mellon Centre.
This lecture will explore and celebrate the creative life and work of the British artist Judith Tucker (1960–2023). Through painting and drawing, Judith Tucker explored the transmitted legacies of forced migration, inherited otherness and cultural dislocation.
She expanded the potentialities of oil painting and charcoal drawing on a variety of scales and formats in relation to historically loaded sites of collective and family trauma whilst examining social and human interactions with land, place and the Earth, itself immemorially ancient but tragically vulnerable to human exploitation and irreversible destruction. Her work combined interventions in “landscape” painting with cultural theories of postmemorial subjectivities and the politics of forgetting and erasure.
HackelBury recently showcased Judith Tucker's works at the Medium and Memory exhibition curated by Griselda Pollock.
