SALLY BUTCHER: FEED ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE AT IKON BIRMINGHAM

 


Ikon is pleased to announce Sally Butcher as artist-in-residence for Feed, organised in collaboration with Birmingham City Council and In Certain Places.

This summer, as part of Feed, an arts-based project that promotes inclusive, sustainable approaches to infant feeding and public space, Ikon hosts Feeding Chair, a collaborative artwork which invites parents and carers to body or bottle feed their babies and young children in galleries and other public venues. Featuring artwork by artist Jade Montserrat, the chair integrates audio works and videos about infant feeding, gender and public space.

Sally Butcher’s residency responds to Feed’s themes of gender, care and the space of the reproductive and maternal body, through the lens of her own practice-based research about experiences of infertility.
