Gee Vaucher is an internationally renowned political artist, known for her �radical creativity�, montages, and iconic record sleeve artwork for the famous anarchist-pacifist band Crass. Vaucher has always seen her work as a tool for social change, using surrealist styles and methods, and a DIY aesthetic to create powerful images exploring political and personal issues. Gee Vaucher has been working as an artist in the UK since the 1960�s but is yet to have a major retrospective of her work in a UK public institution. In Autumn 2016 Firstsite, located in Colchester (UK), will host a retrospective her work, co-curated by Stevphen Shukaitis and Marie-France Kittler. This exhibition will re-affirm her position as a counter-cultural artistic force whose influence on local, national and international visual art and cross-disciplinary contexts deserves to be explored. Gee Vaucher: Introspective will celebrate the rich history of art and activism both on a local and national level. It will not only look back to the radical spirit of the 60�s, 70�s and 80�s, but is also an opportunity to engage audiences in important social debates taking place today. This catalog will be the first in-depth publication examining the vast range of her work including painting, collage, video, performance art, design, and installation works.
