Curators Terah Walkup and Rhys Morgan are joined by artists Emily Pope and Flo Brooks to discuss the impact Beryl Cook has had on their practice, and the importance of visibility for LGTBQIA+ communities within art.
Brooks and Pope are exhibiting in KARST gallery’s Discord & Harmony, a companion exhibition to Beryl Cook: Pride and Joy, and which brings together a group of contemporary British artists who all share Cook’s radically generous approach to representing everyday life.
About the artists
Emily Pope is an artist living and working in London. She works in film, sound, printmaking, and writing. She is interested in series making, and has been making The Sitcom Show, a failed sitcom recording life under austerity measures in the UK, since 2016. Her research explores a history of experimental broadcast media with a focus on humour and satire, queer intersectional feminism, political rhetoric + class politics and she is excited by challenging dominant power structures.
Flo Brooks is a painter of modern life. Their practice can be considered as a revising of traditional genre painting: at the very centre of each painting is a personal reflection on work, leisure and the in-between. Speaking of their approach, Brooks has said: “It feels fundamental to think critically about the ways we connect with each other, and what this might look like in our own lives. I make sense of things through lived experience, through intimate relationships and the communities I’m part of, whether that’s the rural community I grew up in, queer and trans communities, art networks, or my blood family”.
