Catalogue Note
Nan Goldin exhibited The Ballad of Sexual Dependency at the ICA in
1989. This seminal work, which had its debut in 1979 but which
continued to evolve over many years, consists of a slide projection set to music, including hundreds of photographs of the artist's friends and lovers, taken between the 1970s and 1980s. Subsequently Goldin exhibited in the group show Bad Girls, 1993, which brought together a group of women artists creating new (and arguably 'post-feminist') expressions of sexual identity.
Prairie Creek Redwoods, California, 1999, was specially selected by the artist for the ICA's 60th anniversary auction. Goldin has said that until she detoxed she had no real relationship to nature or daylight, as she lived mostly in the night. In her recent landscapes the artist depicts a newly discovered emotional response to the natural world – one characterised by a great sense of loss.
