Artist <-> Model

The ICA presents two exhibitions which reveal the increasingly complex collaborative relationship between artist and model, and recall a period when art, media, fashion and music were cross-fertilising.

Fergus Greer/Leigh Bowery

'...astonishing....bold, ballsy images' Independent

In the lower gallery there will be a selection of colour and black-and-white portrait photographs of performance artist and fashion designer Leigh Bowery, taken by Fergus Greer. They reflect the collaborative relationship Greer had with Bowery from 1988 until his death in 1994. Greer's portraits of Bowery offer a playful satirising of classical portraiture, militaristic heroism and social camouflage, while engaging with radical fashion performance and sexuality.

Richard Kern

'operating for 20 years at the boundaries of the art world, the music scene and the sex industry without really belonging to any of them' Time Out, New York

In the upper galleries the ICA presents a series of photographs and films by the American artist Richard Kern. The predominant theme running throughout his work is a fascination for the aesthetics and problematics of voyeurism and pornography. Kern's subtly subversive and seductive photographs of young female models show them posing in a variety of domestic settings, often in the middle of daily routines such as bathing, squeezing spots or using eye-drops.

Richard Kern in Conversation: Cinema 1, 19 July, 7pm The evil cameraman will be in discussion with curator Matthew Higgs, novelist Geoff Nicholson and artist/occasional Kern model, Lucy McKenzie. A selection of Richard Kern's films and slides will also be shown.
