Dorothy Iannone: Inncoent and Aware - Camden Arts Centre

Dorothy Iannone is a self taught artist, orginally from America, who met Swiss artist Dieter Roth on a trip to Iceland in 1967. This meeting transformed her life and she moved to Europe to be with Roth where she has been ever since, she is now based in Berlin.

Her work is tremendously vibrant, reminding of indian erotic art and psychedelia, she documents her relationships giving free expression to this celebration of her (erotic) life.

A life affirming exhibition, only slightly spoiled by the arts centre attendants continually popping up as you move around, like the shopkeeper out of Mr Benn. They are very friendly and helpful but I prefer to be able to look around an exhibition without the feeling that I'm not to be trusted and need to be watched.
