Perky and Pinky, a new project by artist duo Robbins and Roberts at Hardwick Gallery, explores feminist themes and gender-specific symbols in a playfully anarchic manner. Working across various art practices, including drawing, video and performance, Robbins and Roberts present us with an absurd circus of the everyday. With references as diverse as Yves Klein’s Anthropometry paintings to 50s BBC programmes for children, from abject performing poodles to domestic drudgery, Perky and Pinky looks set to raise some eye-brows as well ask some serious questions about current gender dynamics.
