No Notion of Loving by Halves by Jocelyn McGregor

Commissioned by ‘a space’ arts, No Notion of Loving by Halves by Jocelyn McGregor is a site-specific multi-media installation and programme of live performances that take a deep dive into Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey and explore the intriguing and intense relationships the heroine, Catherine, develops with other female characters in the novel.These relationships often lurch from familial and supportive to conspiratorial; from formal and funny to distant and heated; and can be ragingly competitive, passionate in both love and hate. They are complex, nuanced and fundamentally Gothic.No Notion of Loving by Halves is a contemporary exploration of how these fictional relationships reflect Austen’s reality, the relationships developed between Gothic women authors through their works of fiction and how much these relationships still resonate in the work of many artists and authors today.This exhibition is part of the Jane Austen at GHT programme, which also includes an exhibition of Jane Austen’s travelling writing desk, In Training for a Heroine.
