Juliana Huxtable: Pretty Canary
Turku Art Museum, Turku
- 6.6.2025–14.9.2025
American artist, poet, musician and DJ Juliana Huxtable uses painting, photography, video, performance, music and writing in her interdisciplinary practice that plays with language, imagination and performativity.
More recently, her visual works have combined cartoonishness, interspeciesism, body painting and posing for the camera, as well as explored queer desire and gaze through a celebration of the body in an often overtly feminine and sexualised performance. The music video Pretty Canary (2023), made with her band Tongue in the Mind, brings together the different registers of Huxtable's creativity. The result is an unashamedly sensual, dizzying and psychedelic Gesamtkunstwerk, whose metaphors and visions tempt us to taste the berry offered by the pretty little bird.
