Description

A collaborative installation cluster set up various vectors throughout the gallery, north invoked the spectre of 1930’s fascism in relation to sport, a quest for an idealised self where the act of vaulting is akin to a kind of ascension. Fuller changed the vectors of masculinity and verticality and enabled them to connect with histories beyond those of sport and politics.
