‘Estate: Ian Hinchliffe retrospective’, Beaconsfield, Vauxhall, London, 30 October-22 November 1998 (AIMG-1363)
Ian Hinchliffe was a performance artist, as well as an installation maker, a painter, and an occasional small-screen star. Known for the provocative nature of his work, he gained a reputation for producing unpredictable, mischievous, and occasionally menacing art. From the 16 March 2017, the personal papers of Ian Hinchliffe will be available to the public as a new collection at the Archive Library, Queen Mary University of London (QMUL). Acquired by Dr Dominic Johnson in the Department of Drama at QMUL and the Live Art Development Agency - the Ian Hinchliffe collection is the first in a series of archived material that Queen Mary is acquiring in relation to the history of performance art in the UK. Hinchliffe's performances happened in a variety of contexts, often moving beyond the traditional gallery context of art into streets and pubs. Influences. His bizarre costumes, props, and range of mannerisms such as gurning, point to his influences - namely, vaudeville, music hall, Northern comedy and traditional jazz.
