Sarah Maple's Nazi Sexy Shark Show
Life was going well for young graduate artist Sarah Maple
when she won the prestigious Saatchi Prize in 2007. Tipped for art stardom
surely nothing could stand in her way. Skip forward 13 years and life has not
quite turned out as planned. She is now working full time in a sex shop with
eccentric manager Jen, frequently ‘bumping into’ her art school nemesis
Cressida and living off homemade curries from her Mum.
But now an opportunity has come her way. She has secured a
solo exhibition at Jealous Gallery in London and Sarah has just 6 weeks to set
her career back on track.
Sarah has to navigate questionable mentorship (with Kate
Bryan) and issues of ownership (with David Tennant) while grappling with where
ideas come from (with Sonia Boyce) and having the very nature of the series as
‘video art’ questioned (with Nikki Bedi). Created by Sarah Maple this
provocative and playful series is a semi-autobiographical artwork that isn’t
exactly a sitcom which takes aim at the often ludicrous nature of the art
world.
