Anna Mendelssohn: Speak, Poetess
Baffling exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery on the poet and artist Anna Mendelssohn. I admit I didn’t really understand the poetry or the art and the commentary which said Mendelssohn, also known as Grace Lake, was interested in the “the socio-historical mechanisms which influence the creation and destruction of language in public and private spheres” didn’t really help me. I was interested however to see the show was based on her archive which has been given to the University of Sussex. Closed 21 January 2024
