Velvet-Club Connecting Lesbians & Bi-women around the World

For his first solo exhibition at the gallery since 2012 and first exhibition at Victoria Miro Mayfair Grayson Perry presents new work including pots, sculpture, large-scale prints, a tapestry and a carpet. In these new works, the artist casts an anthropological eye on the heady collision of art, money, power and desire. The assertion of identity through cultural or consumer choices and what these reveal about us, perhaps unintentionally, is one theme of a show that broaches the slippery concepts of meaning and significance what can be authentically experienced or simply acquired. New pots include Shopping for Meaning, adorned with images of the artist in wig, headscarf and various outfits standing in front of Mayfairs designer stores, their logos visible behind him. Searching for Authenticity collects together symbols of rebellion and rites of passage the leather jacket, the beard, the CND banner as if they were a catalogue of lifestyle choices. Fittingly slender in form, Thin Woman with Painting depicts an immaculate contemporary art patron at home with her collection which, on close inspection, includes works remarkably similar to Perrys own: a pot bearing the names of philosophers and theorists, and a tapestry of an urban landscape featuring words and phrases such as appalling wifi and cultural desert.
