MOIRA LOVELL - UK<br />
STATEMENT<br />
The After School Club 2006/7<br />
The school uniform, as worn in the clubs, offers up a<br />
sexualised and infantilised display of unthreatening<br />
female sexuality to the male gaze. Within the education<br />
system it aims to provide a homogeneous identity to<br />
prevent competition between pupils. Moira Lovell mixes<br />
the two up by returning the clubbers to their secondary<br />
school gates whilst still in their revellers garb. ‘Raunch<br />
culture’ is spliced with the playground as Lovell’s photographs<br />
abruptly report on how little seems to remain<br />
of the schoolyard’s openness and curiosity. Yet the suggestion<br />
is also that school’s as ‘disciplinary’ institutions<br />
have in some way, as part of today’s society, created<br />
obedient adherents to the male gaze.<br />
