Contemporary HUM speaks to artist Caitlin Devoy about BODYOBJECTS, her presentation in the 2024 edition of Personal Structures. Devoy discusses how her works challenge the power relations encoded in gallery spaces. Using humour as a feminist strategy, Devoy’s soft, tactile artworks subvert the Cartesian binaries that have historically dictated art viewership, refusing disembodied objectivity in favour of tactility, subjectivity and intuition.
