Rose Finn-Kelcey (4 March 1945 – 13 February 2014) was a British artist, born in Northampton. Finn-Kelcey grew up in Buckinghamshire as part of a large farming family, and went on to study at Ravensbourne College of Art and Design, and later Chelsea College of Art in London. She died on 13 February 2014 of motor neurone disease. She lived and worked in London from 1968. Finn-Kelcey worked in a variety of media including performance, video, sound, installation, sculpture, photography, papercut and posters. ==Early work== Finn-Kelcey's work in the late 1960s and 1970s emerged alongside that of increasing numbers of artists concerned with formal experimentation and conceptual practices. Several of the early works consisted of making and flying flags in publicly visible spaces, as in ''Power for the People'' (1972). In this piece, Finn-Kelcey made large flags from silver tissue and black bunting bearing the slogan 'POWER FOR THE PEOPLE', which were hung from Battersea Power Station in London. Commissioned by the Central Electricity Generating Board, the flags were removed due to complaints from Chelsea residents across the river.〔 Finn-Kelcey's work, like that of many artists she shared gallery space with, was also engaged in dialogues surrounding social liberation movements during this time. For instance, (''The Restless Image: a discrepancy between the seen position and the felt position'' ) (1975), now owned by Tate, in which Finn-Kelcey is posed in a hand-stand on a beach, interconnects with feminist critiques of the woman as 'seen' whilst the title simultaneously draws attention to the shallowness of the viewer's gaze in the invisibility of the 'felt'.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/finn-kelcey-the-restless-image-a-discrepancy-between-the-felt-position-and-the-seen-p78607/text-summary )〕 Finn-Kelcey's work also appeared in exhibitions and spaces with explicitly feminist agendas, for instance she performed ''Mind The Gap'' as part of ''About Time: video, performance and installation by 21 women artists'' within the 'women's season' at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in the winter of 1980. Examples of artists Finn-Kelcey exhibited alongside during the 1970s include Carlyle Reedy, Paul Burwell, Tina Keane and David Medalla, all of whom featured in the ''London Calling presents Performance Plus'' exhibition in which Finn-Kelcey performed ''The Boilermaker's Assistant''. Finn-Kelcey also had some involvement in the Artists For Democracy project, which was chaired by Medalla and based in Fitzrovia, London. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rose Finn-Kelcey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
