Description |
This YSP publication is the first to offer a survey of Goodyear’s work to date, with archive images and a commissioned essay by Laurence Sillars, Chief Curator at Baltic.
This autumn, YSP presents an exhibition of new and recent work by Rachel Goodyear. Tipped as one of Art Review’s Future Greats in 2008 and nominated for the Northern Art Prize in 2009, Goodyear’s compelling cast of characters inhabit a strange and complex world of contradictions, existing somewhere between the macabre and mundane. Exploring themes of fear, desire, vulnerability and isolation, Goodyear invites the viewer into a dark place where human psychologies and animal behaviour collide and merge. |
