In celebration of Gray Street Workshop’s fortieth anniversary, JamFactory presents Beautiful Tensions, a major touring exhibition honouring the momentous legacy and talent of the workshop by showcasing new work, a culmination of two years of work and research, by the four current partners: Jess Dare, Lisa Furno, Sue Lorraine and Catherine Truman.
Witty, playful and poignant in equal measure, each body of work is distinctive yet shares certain themes and formal concerns; this is a cogent expression of how the group works, in their own words, “separately together.”
