Jo Spence: Work (Part I and II)
Studio Voltaire www.studiovoltaire.org
Lambeth Women’s project : www.lambethwomensproject.org
Jo Spence (1934-92) emerged in ’70s, pioneering ‘phototherapy’, a form of co-counselling. The show is a brilliantly compiled celebration of her extensive work and process; playful and heart-wrenchingly awful. Photography as an empowering capacity, when applied to issues of: class, power, gender, health and the body.
Well-researched and supported by events, welcoming/informed staff, quality publicity. Good to see this work and address these issues in a gallery space.
