Sonia Boyce: Just for the Record
Simon Lee Gallery, London

12 October – 16 December 2022
https://www.simonleegallery.com/exhibitions/244/

Just for the record, Sonia Boyce’s inaugural exhibition with Simon Lee Gallery lands this week in London. Coming off the back of a successful stint at this year’s Venice Biennale, where Boyce won the prestigious Golden Lion Prize for Best National Participation for her exhibition FEELING HER WAY at the British pavilion, Boyce’s latest show features new works that extend from her ongoing Devotional project that she began in 1999.

Turning memorabilia collected from black British women in music into visual material, Boyce decorates the gallery space with a geometric patterned wallpaper taken from a growing archive of images saved to her phone. Within this kaleidoscope are also large-scale photographic prints of posters advertising musical events from performers featured in the Devotional project. Looking at questions of appropriation and the people behind the voices of music, Boyce considers the importance of music in our daily lives and offers insight into her contemporary artistic practice.

Coinciding with this exciting exhibition is Boyce’s Cork Street Banners commission, which will be unveiled on 13 October.
