UPDATE: LADA regrets to announce that this event has been postponed along with all events until the beginning of May, at the earliest. Our office and Study Room will also remain closed for the same period. Please check for updates and more info via our COVID-19 statement here. We are also gathering information and resources to support artists and arts workers hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.
LADA and the Sexual Cultures Research Group at Queen Mary (aka SexCult) are delighted to present this evening featuring the legendary performance artist, photographer and dominatrix Sheree Rose (US).
Rose is a pioneering body artist who became infamous during the 1980s as an artist and dominatrix for her collaborations with partner Bob Flanagan (US). Together they explored illness, love, death and pain for sixteen years until his death from cystic fibrosis in 1996. Their collaborative performances, photographic works, videos and installations are well known for their physical and emotional extremity.
Across all her work, Rose is profound in her attempt to do away with decorum, tact and conventional evasions and disguises – particularly in relation to sex, love, pleasure, pain, disease and death
In more recent years, Sheree Rose has made a number of collaborative performances with Martin O’Brien (UK), an artist whose work draws upon his own experience of cystic fibrosis, and whose practice explores what it means – politically and philosophically – to be born with a life-shortening disease.
The evening features Sheree Rose in conversation with Martin O’Brien, and hosted by Dominic Johnson (SexCult).
An Evening with Sheree Rose is co-sponsored with the Sexual Cultures Research Group (aka SexCult) in the School of English and Drama at Queen Mary University of London.
LADA is taking advice from the UK government and Arts Council England on the appropriate response to the current Coronavirus outbreak. If we do need to postpone this event we will notify everyone who has booked a place at the earliest opportunity. Thank you for your understanding.
