Until 24 February: Female Icons
27 December 2006
What makes a woman an icon? Is it innate beauty, intelligence, noble deeds, sex appeal, eccentricity, unadulterated public projection? These are just some of the questions Dutch collective De Geuzen explores by transforming the Peacock gallery into a temporary laboratory. The exhibition, including talks, workshops and film screenings runs until 24 February.
