This booklet has been published to accompany the exhibition PraDal by Gail Pickering. PRADAL is Gail Pickering’s first solo exhibition in London. For Matt’s Gallery she has constructed a large-scale sculptural installation incorporating a continuous live performance by a group of male actors. Referencing the language of Muscle Beach and the detritus of labour history, she merges her interests in durational performance, sculpture and drawing into a contemporary form of tableaux vivant (living picture).
