In a UK premiere for US artist Laurie Long, Impressions presents two bodies of work that fuse elements of humour, feminism and popular culture. The Dating Surveillance Project, born out of the idea that dating parallels a spy mission, documents the artist on a series of dates and explores romantic role-play and female identity. Detective work also features prominently in Becoming Nancy Drew, a series in which Long physically transforms herself into the famous girl sleuth from the classic children's book in order to explore fiction and memory.
