Lisa
Metherell
is an object-based installation artist living in Birmingham.
She has exhibited in Birmingham, Dublin and Cardiff. Her
work makes use of CCTV cameras, security mirrors and medical
technologies to explore the relationships between technologies
of capture and formations of identity.
Her
work is informed by the ideas of Judith Butler; in particular,
gender performance as a ‘stylized repetition of
acts’. It is also influenced by Foucault’s
later work on the ‘cultivation of self’: the
self being an artefact that is historically and spatially
specific.
She
is currently studying for a Masters in Fine Art at the
University of Central England, funded by the Arts and
Humanities Research Council.
Lisa's
work can be viewed at ABplus
from the 27th May - 15th June, 10am - 4pm daily
