About this Event
Set in 1990s London, Alex Hyde’s Exhibition, delves into the intense friendship between an artist and her muse in the London arts scene of the 1990s.
The story follows Rabble Stone, a photographer, who meets a painter after renting a room in her Brixton home during the heady era of the Young British Artists. Drawn to the artist’s raw, intimate self-portraits and the vibrant, often decadent gallery scene, Rabble’s longing turns into obsession and her pursuit of the artist - her fame, her wealth, her life - threatens to consume her.
Travelling from London to Algiers, to Berlin and New York, Exhibition is a story of love, ego and destruction, and the dark relationship between authenticity and celebrity, artist and muse.
Alex Hyde is an Associate Professor at University College London. Her first novel Violets, is a fictional reimagining of her father's story.
