MARCIA FARQUHAR

TUESDAY 4 DECEMBER 2012

Marcia Farquhar is an artist working in performance, installation, video and object-making. Farquhar’s performances are conceptual in nature and often precariously balanced between the prescribed and the unpredictable – socially open, broadly embracing of circumstance, and resolutely focussed in the live and unrepeatable moment. They have also made frequent and subversive use of pnpular cultural forms such as TV cookery, pop-psychology, the Punch & Judy show, the fashion catwalk and the guided tour. Among her recent works are a play for radio in six parts, "The Common Room" (2011) developed while a Cocheme fellow at Byam Shaw School of Art, and "Mind Your Heads" (2012) an installation and performance in the 13th Century Lincoln Greyfriars friary.
