Julie Verhoeven Has a Go at Society’s Notions of Femininity
Known mostly as a fashion illustrator and collaborator (Louis Vuitton, Versace), Julie Verhoeven has channeled her inner satirist to create Whiskers Between My Legs at the ICA in London. In the immersive installation, Verhoeven explores notions of femininity and its (mis)representation in popular culture by draping collaged fabrics and other mixed media throughout the space.
In addition, a new short film addressing female seduction and so-called perversion will also screen on monitors, some placed within toilet seats, thereby creating a playfully ironic environment that defies and questions perceptions of gender, etiquette, and taste.
Whiskers Between My Legs , December 9 – January 18, 2015, Institute for Contemporary Arts, The Mall, London
