A major exhibition spanning works from the seventies onwards at CCA and Street Level Photoworks, Revealing the Invisible: The Art of Stansfield / Hooykaas from Different Perspectives focuses on the work of the seminal visual arts duo.
Elsa Stansfield and Madelon Hooykaas worked together from1972 until Stansfield's death in 2004. They are considered pioneers in the field of video art with their work influencing many video and multimedia artists today.
Revealing the Invisible will show works spanning the duo's entire career.
It represents a return to the city where, 35 years ago, the artists showed their very first video installation at the Third Eye Centre (which would go on to become the CCA). This exhibition is an opportunity to see many of these works for the first time in Scotland.
Madelon Hooykaas was born in 1942 (Maartensdijk, The Netherlands).
She lives and works in Amsterdam. Elsa Stansfield was born in 1945 in Glasgow and died in Amsterdam in 2004.
