Pin Up: Contemporary Collage and Drawing is the fourth exhibition in Tate Modern’s new Untitled series which looks at The Public World of the Private Space. Exhibiting artists include Matt Bryans, Amie Dicke, Godfried Donkor, Dr Lakra, Wangechi Mutu, Jockum Nordstrum, Stephen Shearer and Nicole Wermers. Many of the exhibiting artists take found materials from the public realm, such as newspapers, magazines and books, and transform them, by a variety of simple and yet ingenious processes, into something personal, strange, enchanting or haunting. The exhibition features Dr Lakra’s entirely tattooed pin-up girls, Wangechi Mutu’s hybridised monster models and Godfried Donkor’s ironic juxtapositions of glamour, slavery and money. Pin Up combines the political edginess of collage with the subjectivity of drawing, fusing the public and the private in new and unusual ways.
