September - October, 2023
Group exhibition curated by Lena Stewens & Jakob Fransicso
“In a world where identities are constructed through names, locations, and genders, there are many reasons for the use of an alter ego. Whether it be an identity shift, a shelter, or artistic / personal statement, pseudonyms allow individuals to navigate these societal constraints. First and foremost, the group show started as a playful invitation. Some artists used this space to propose a work that was a little too personal for their usual circumstance, others as their long awaited permission to try out a new medium. These pseudonyms themselves took on lives of their own - through Bubble Bath, a variety of approaches are assembled which deconstruct and reconstruct the idea of an artist’s identity.”
