Exhibitions currently running:
Jesper Just - A Voyage in Dwelling - Victoria Miro Gallery presents the first solo exhibition in the UK by Danish artist Jesper Just. The exhibition will premiere the newly commissioned film trilogy A Voyage in Dwelling in addition to a selection of earlier works, including Just’s acclaimed film A Vicious Undertow. The new trilogy - consisting of the eponymous work A Voyage in Dwelling, A Room of One’s Own and A Question of Silence – stars renowned Danish actress Benedikte Hansen whose character, a woman in middle age, embarks on a psychological journey of displacement to unravel her sexuality. The films register as an uneasy mapping of female desire, as they chart the slippage between one woman's actual and imagined sexual self. Just sensitively explores the idea that “the received paradigm of a man's journey is that he always returns to the point of departure expecting to find his home and wife unchanged, unaffected. Benedikte's experience, by contrast, is one of pleasurable displacement - she becomes a nomad in her own mind, never returning to her former status quo. From 20 May until 14 June.
