SPILL 15 – Dorothy Max Prior: In My Room

29 October – 1 November & 5-7 November.

To purchase as part of the SPILL All-Seeing Pass, SPILL Week 1 Pass or SPILL Week 2 Pass please call Toynbee Studios box office on 020 7650 2350.

Enter a time capsule and find yourself in what purports to be a teenage girl’s bedroom in the 1970s.

Rifle through the piles of punk fanzines, fetish clothes, LPs, and teen magazines; take in the walls collaged with gig posters, pages torn from porn mags, and scrawled-over wallpaper; and snuggle down on the Sex Is No Emergency bed.

An accompanying sound installation fuses ‘70s pop tunes with a poetic reflection on the sexualisation of girl children. The work is both an exhibition of original pop / punk/ porn artefacts; and a reflection on the legacy of sexual abuse in the ‘70s, which the punk movement called out, parodied, and subverted.

Duration: 10 mins, one person at a time.
