Find out more about the project and hear from our curator about how and why Tobin brought it to Kettle’s Yard.
Made in 1986 during a performance in which Rose Garrard transformed a corner shop into a plaster casting studio, these sculptures juxtapose images of historic women artists and page three girls from the Sun newspaper. They are both a document of the gender politics of the 1980s, and a protest at the exclusion of women artists from the history of art and the objectification of women in the British press. This is the first time the works have been exhibited since 1994.

This exhibition, which focuses on researchers from the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Cambridge, looks at the way in which sediments from the sea floor have been used over the last fifty years to discover more about the history of the planet. The exhibition explores the Ice Ages that have dominated climate change over the last one million years and looks at how drilling engineering, mass spectrometry, and the Earth's orbit are all ingredients of this remarkable story.

Exhibition Curator, Charlotte Connelly says, "For the communities who have lived in the Arctic for thousands of years, the polar regions are homely, while for European explorers first encounters with the far north felt bleak and difficult. These different perspectives are revealed through the art on display, which spans 200 years and artists from a range of backgrounds."
