As part of our ‘Primers’ series, The Common Guild presents artist Sharon Hayes, who talks about her practice in the lead up to a new project in development with The Common Guild. This event is introduced by Dr Dominic Paterson, and presented in collaboration with the University of Glasgow.
Sharon Hayes works with performance, video and installation, drawing on the history of 20th-century protest. Speeches, campaign slogans, banners and demonstrations recur as forms in her work, which highlights the inter-relationship of the individual and the collective.
Sharon Hayes (b. 1970, Baltimore, USA) lives and works in New York and has exhibited extensively in recent years. She was the focus of a 2012 solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York and has participated in many key international exhibitions, such as the 11th Istanbul Biennial, 2009; ‘Il Palazzo Enciclopedico’, 55th Venice Biennale, 2013.
