Melanie Matthews
LabiaLand

The overall atmosphere of Melanie Matthews' latest exhibition is that of a fairground: LabiaLand features the equivalent of a fun-house mirror, a giant coloring book, a bouncy castle, and a welcome sign. The Leitmotif of Matthews' latest series of works is female genitalia, recontextualized into a symbol of positivity, fun, and joy. Matthews removes the image of the vulva from the context of pornography and the male gaze, and reclaims it through the use of scale, materials, and visitor participation.
