SUMMARY:FACT: FACT: Ericka Beckman Marianna Simnett
DESCRIPTION:ERICKA BECKMAN MARIANNA SIMNETT\nWhat can we learn about modern
  day society from traditional fairy tales?\n\nOpening in March\, our new e
 xhibition features two female artists who both use technology and classic 
 tropes of fairy tale storytelling to create artworks that are alluring and
  repelling\, sensual and troubling.\n\nEminent American filmmaker Ericka B
 eckman and emerging artist Marianna Simnett - whose work reaches across mo
 re than forty years - present strikingly different forms of visual storyte
 lling\, but share a deliberate foregrounding of the female body as a main 
 player in the densely layered fantasy worlds they conjure.\n\n\n\nEricka B
 eckman uses the imagery\, style and language of early computer games - as 
 well as the rigid structures and rules of gaming - to examine the perceive
 d need for women to adhere to societal norms in order to achieve what is e
 xpected of them. The characters depicted in her films are seen never fully
  succeeding in satisfying the requirements of the “game” they’re in\
 , providing a critique of the limitations and demands placed on women in s
 ociety. Both films rewrite fairy tales using the innovative technology of 
 the 80’s to explore female identities in our post-industrial world.\n\nM
 arianna Simnett’s visceral language combines mythology and surgery to cr
 eate tales of morality. Themes of corruption and innocence depict illness 
 and disease\, commenting on gender divides in our cultures. Through video 
 and installation\, Simnett challenges how bodies are perceived and imagine
 d against a repressive society of control.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis exhibition is
  adapted from the Ericka Beckman and Marianna Simnett exhibitions curated 
 by Zabludowicz Collection.\n\n\n
