The Juliana Cerqueira Leite exhibition at TJ Boulting was a great opportunity to see some of the Brooklyn based artists work. The large sculptural pieces had been made in London specially for the show and others had been bought over from Brooklyn, making a nice link between the two locations that she has inhabited over the last 10 years.
Surrounding the sculptures in the show at TJ Boulting were a series of large cyanotypes called ‘Summertime Blues’, which had been made in mid-summer on Brooklyn rooftop. The prints are made up of multiple exposures of the artists naked body, where a series of mirrored poses were struck on the light-sensitive fabric.
'The evidence of the summer heat is captured in the starburst forms produced by dripping sweat. The final image is therefore a composite, generating a new anatomy, an impossible body, made feasible by the mechanics of directly capturing time'.
Also I have added some of Juliana's thoughts in response to her performance for the SOLO exhibition on this post:
