Guest artist ANNA PERACH  joins ELIZABETH FULLERTON to discuss her work via 'The Victorian Chaise Longue' 1953 by Marghanita Laski. The novel describes the experience of a charming yet childish lawyer's wife who wakes up in the body of her alter-ego eighty years previously. It's a chilling tale of entrapment, which closely links to Anna's sculptural work as she reacts to female stereotypes, trapped in their societal roles, trapped in her tufted wool costumes.    ANNA PERACH annaperach.com instagram anna_perach  EXHIBITIONS2022 Summer group show at Hales Gallery 2022 'Eye of the Collector' Cook Latham Gallery 24 Mar - 30 Apr 2022 'Spidora' Edel Assanti 2020 'Tomorrow London' White Cube2020 'Seven Wives' graduation exhibition at Goldsmiths ARTISTSAlice Neel Anousha PayneDorothea TanningLeonora CarringtonBOOKSClarissa Pinkola Estes 'Women who Run with the Wolves'Barbara Creed 'The Monstrous Feminine'Griselda Pollock 'After affects After Images' Frederico Campanja 'Technic and Magic' GALLERIES &amp; ORGANISATIONSADA Gallery, RomeArco, MadridADA, MilanCook Latham GalleryGoldsmiths CollegeIngram Art PrizeMother Art PrizeRyder Gallery

Gender Entrapment and Performative Mythologies (ANNA PERACH)

It was my pleasure to interview the multi-media artist (and new Crit Group Crew mentor) Anna Perach, a Ukrainian born Israeli artist living and working in London, UK. Using hand-sewn tufted carpets, Anna painstakingly creates garments that are then used in performance pieces inspired by Slavic folklore and her own community practices as a counselor […]

84: On Collaborative Art Practices, Counseling and Feeling Pressure to Make Every Moment Count with Anna Perach

Anna Perach and I talk about an awareness of darkness and adjusting to a lack of sun. Anna tells us about settling into the new Saraband Foundation Studio after 4 years studying for her MA at Goldsmiths. We talk about how she fell in love with tufting. We talk about how tufting feels, how tough it is physically and how it is now central to her practice. Anna talks about being heavily influenced by soviet decor and how unpicking and reworking the things she’s grown up with to understand and explore her practice. Anna talks about art with primal feelings and we talk about tactility, about carpet, the body and containment. We talk about faces, how they come into being and if we speak to them.  We discuss some of the folklore stories that influence and inspire the work and we talk about conversations in your head and conversations with the work. We talk about female archetypes, relating directly to the Seven Wives piece and we talk about primal mother figures and ritual or repetitive behaviour. We talk about inherited information, how we hold our histories in our bodies. We talk about collaborative working, with a movement director to learn about and understand applying pressures on performers. We talk about trying to connect the body and mind, and investigate ideas about how the body takes over when its not possible to verbally communicate. We reference Bluebeard, Pina Bausch and the film Suspiria. Anna talks about creating an environment thinking about bringing in music, ideas of avant-garde theatre and the possibilities of working with glass and hot and cold. We talk about carrying on working as a strength and an escape!   Image: Seven Wives performance documentation 2020 Image Credit, Matt Ashford Studios  Links: https://www.annaperach.com The Herzliya Museum-  https://www.herzliyamuseum.co.il/en/  ---   Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/emma-cousin/support
