Louise Giovanelli is one of the hottest rising stars of her generation. She spoke to Tandem about modern devotion, the overlap between Catholic imagery and porn, and why people keep asking what’s behind her famous curtains:

A really exciting interview in Tandem – Joanne Leonard is 85 and only just getting global recognition for her incredible feminist photography and collage practices. We spoke with her ahead of her first UK show at HackelBury Gallery.
Working since the early 1960s, Joanne Leonard has been at the forefront of both the feminist & civil rights movements. These themes run throughout her body of work, particularly in her pioneering “intimate documentary” photographs & her groundbreaking collage practice.
The Intimate Eye
Joanne Leonard’s feminist “intimate documentary” photography finally finds a global audience.

Museum “rehangs” are everywhere, most recently at London's National Gallery. They inspire furious debate about mixing old art & new politics, but we forget that museums have always done that: their Victorian roots have never been more visible.
