These examples of Finn-Kelcey\u2019s diverse and exacting practice are presented alongside photographs, collage, performance documentation, sketches in progress and preparatory material \u2013 never before exhibited.<\/p>\n<p>Finn-Kelcey\u2019s work is conceptually powerful, profound and is characterised by a dry wit that belies the formidable intelligence and deep humanity that drove her practice. A central figure in the performance and feminist art scene in Britain for over four decades, her work is intimately concerned with social dialogue, populism, activism, and how these tools of communication intersect with complex systems of power.<\/p>\n<p>Finn-Kelcey\u2019s far-reaching influence on conceptual art in the 1970s and \u201880s extended locally, to the generation of YBAs (Young British Artists) in the \u201990s as she began to realise large-scale and technically complex installations.<\/p>\n<p>Avant-garde in her ideas both in art and politics, Finn-Kelcey\u2019s endlessly inventive practice demonstrates the artist\u2019s interest in creating socio-political statements with a visually arresting quality, often object-based, frequently combining her creative investigations with contemporary technologies.<\/p>\n<p><em>Life, Belief and Beyond<\/em> is a celebration of Finn-Kelcey\u2019s work and pays tribute to her extraordinary practice and influence.<\/p>\n<p>*Rose Finn-Kelcey Obituary, Guardian newspaper, 24 February 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":53919,"template":"","event_type":[230],"audience":[],"class_list":["post-53918","events","type-events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","event_type-archive","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Rose Finn-Kelcey: Life, Belief and Beyond - Modern Art Oxford<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Rose Finn-Kelcey: Life, Belief and Beyond - Modern Art Oxford\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"No two works of hers are physically alike; each represents a fresh challenge\u2026 &#8211; Guy Brett* Modern Art Oxford presents Life, Belief and Beyond, the first posthumous exhibition of works by the highly acclaimed and influential artist Rose Finn-Kelcey (1945\u20132014).
