Josephine Pryde is an artist who lives in London\, and in Berlin where she has been Professor for Contemporary Photog raphy at the University of the Arts since 2008. She has had recent solo exh ibitions at Chisenhale Gallery\, London\; MD72\, Berlin\; Reena Spaulings F ine Art\, New York and Richard Telles Fine Art\, Los Angeles. Group shows i nclude “Films & Filming”\, organised by David Lieske at Bischoff Projects\, Frankfurt\, “Madame Realism”\, Marres Centre for Contemporary Art\, Maastr icht\, and “The J.G. Ballard Centre for Psychopathological Research present s: ‘Zodiac 3000’ ” at the International Project Space\, Birmingham.
H er practice employs a continuous shuttling between the generic technical co nditions of culture and the image\, and the irreducibly singular - that for which no prior decision (or strategy) can be applied. As part of the Disti nguished Visiting Artist Program at UBC’s Department of Art History\, Visua l Art and Theory\, Pryde will be giving a public lecture about her work\, w hich is free and open to the public.
SB: In your exhibition Brains & Chains\, you refer to Eva Hesse\, amongst other things. If I have understoo d you correctly\, what you’re concerned with here is the “model swot”\, abo ve all the one embodied by women artists who could be\, or who are\, establ ished in the art business.
JP: Yes. I got interested in working with
my own embarrassment.
SB: In what way?
JP: Well\, then I would re
ally have to say some really very embarrassing things.
SB: There is no
embarrassment that we can’t handle here.
JP: Yes\, I think there is.<
