Stand and deliver

Stand and Deliver is an installation that incorporates elements of video, painting and drawing within the format of the lecture performance to pursue a subjective engagement with feminist histories. Haynes’ art practice explores the limits of language and subjectivity, and re-examines art history and philosophy in relation to gender politics. Through drawing installations and performative video works, the practice performs a playful mixing of language codes and systems – drawn from art criticism, abstraction, conceptual art and philosophical traditions – and enacts a gendered ‘redrawing’ of these texts. These works engage with pictorial, literary and vernacular quotations, in an attempt to replay and reveal the complexities of gender politics, representation and language.
