Item description from seller

Colour images. 56.pp. *** Challenge your expectations in this landmark group exhibition. [uz], [uz], [uz] is a celebration of the breadth and vitality of work by artists from working-class backgrounds. It features the work of over thirty modern and contemporary artists who were born in or have significant connections to Yorkshire. Their works range in medium, including painting, sculpture, photography, drawing, installation and film. The exhibition is also a challenge to class-related prejudices and stereotypes. Whilst privileging working-class voices, [uz], [uz], [uz] aims not to reduce artists practice to their class. Instead, we recognise and celebrate the complexity of their realities and experiences. While some address working-class issues and identity, others do not engage with class in their work. Some deal with form and materiality, landscape, the bodily, or the everyday. Others explore issues around inequality, memory, trauma or tradition. Importantly, the exhibition brings to the fore intersectional experiences. These include Black, Queer, feminist and disabled perspectives. The exhibition also includes selected works from the University Art Collection, many of which are being shown for the first time. Alongside the exhibition, the University has commissioned a new installation for our collection by Leeds-based artist Simeon Barclay (b. 1975). '[uz], [uz], [uz]' borrows its title from a verse in the poem Them & [uz] by Leeds-born poet Tony Harrison (1937 2025). This poem is a powerful and provocative commentary on class division and cultural exclusion. The Tony Harrison Archive is held within Cultural Collections & Galleries.
