Stewart Home

Presented as part of Book Works’ Again A Time Machine, an exhibition in which the twin poles of archive and distribution are explored through new art commissions, performance and the written and spoken word, SPACE hosts the first UK retrospective of Stewart Home’s work.

Exhibition continues: 6 April to 20 May 2012
Monday to Friday 10am–5pm
Saturday to Sunday 12–6pm

Collected here are more than thirty years of cultural interventions, including Art Strike Bed, Vermeer II and Becoming (M)other (in which Home re-imagines his mother’s 1960s modelling portfolio in ways that would make Cindy Sherman blush), and issues of Smile, Re-action, novels, pamphlets, films and other ephemera. In his multiple egoistic persona Home claims to have strived not just for greatness but also grooviness and is more than ever convinced that since the world is disenchanted, telling outrageous lies is the only means of approaching ‘truth’ and thus making life fabulous once again.
