'Fashionable Marriage' installation (1986) in a group exhibition - Keywords: Art, Culture and Society in 1980s Britain

Abstract

"Keywords: Art, Culture and Society in 1980s Britain, is a new take on how the changes in the meaning of words reflect the cultural shifts in our society. This dynamic exhibition takes its name and focus from the seminal 1976 Raymond Williams book on the vocabulary of culture and society"
'Fashionable Marriage' engages with how to understand the similarities between the broader political world and the landscape of British cultural life, through the life of artists of the black disapora. It draws on the tradition of the history of British caricature to argue for making a case for exposing the gross hypocrisy of British systems of arts funding, art criticisim, and the links between Museums and the commercial sector.
