comunicato stampa

Meadow

The Showroom is pleased to announce that it has commissioned Finnish artist Minna Haukka to make a new body of work for presentation at the gallery.

This will be Haukka's first solo project in London.

Since 1998 Minna Haukka has been documenting drawings and interventions mad e by prisoners in jails across Europe.
These art works are not produced in formal art therapy classes provided for the inmates; rather they are intimate self-expressions made in the limited privacy of gaol. They act as a way for prisoners to decorate their cells and make a mark on an institution, while simultaneously providing an insight into their personal anxieties and desires.

Haukka records, rather than comments, on the particular situations that she finds. Her documentation of the work that she encounters is not slick, mediated or journalistic in style, but instead has a casual and intimate feel.

For The Showroom Minna Haukka will create an environment within the gallery space to show new images taken in Belfast.
Her installation will include documentation of drawings, collages and poems from the Maze, Belfast and Maghaberry Prisons. Her record of what exists there will reveal issues of social control and political struggle in Northern Ireland, as well as continuing her examination of more general personal freedoms.

Minna Haukka lives and works in London.

Hours: Wednesday to Sunday 1pm to 6pm
Gallery closed 24 December to 6 January
