The show and tell will feature exhibition catalogues, artists’ books, and ephemera inspired by Anthea Hamilton: The Squash. The display explores how live art, dance, and performance is documented after the event, the relationships between choreography, dance, and sculpture, as well as examples of food inspired art found in the library’s collections of artists’ books. The display will also feature a look back in time at the history of installation and performance in the Duveen Galleries, exploring the many different transformations and activations of the space.
