LOCKJAW at Ranelagh Arts
October 2023
We partnered with Ranelagh Arts for an Angelica curator or artist-as-curator to propose an exhibition project for the Ranelagh Arts in Dublin 6. Of the proposals submitted, a Ranelagh Arts committee selected Shaista Sosrowardoyo as the curator of LOCKJAW:
LOCKJAW explores the emotional dimensions of performing identities in a reality where truth is ever-mutating. These shared experiences guide and unify the practices of Lauren Conway, Luke van Gelderen, and Lana May Fleming who work across a range of diverse disciplines including video, new media, sculpture, drawing and painting. LOCKJAW proffers a heightened and affecting effigy of ourselves: hyper-feminine edible chimaeras; surreal and simulated masculinities; and rearticulated commonalities and cultural totems.
