Abstract

Tension is a four piece sculptural solo exhibition by Brian J Morrison produced for The Birley on April 2016. The work produced for Tension is informed by the physicality of the body in relation to the production and consumption of art, and considers how art objects might be capable of offering alternative relationships to the gendered body.

Morrison draws aesthetic inspiration from the work of the 1960s Minimalist sculpture movement and the reactive process driven art that followed, where ideas of gendered art objects are prevalent. The work in TENSION, produced for The Birley, develops his relationship with two specific materials, mild steel and latex, via a series of performative physical actions.

Following the exhibition, the sculptures were installed in PR1 Gallery at UCLAN dance students developed physical responds to the themes, ideas and physicality of the works.
