Narcissus, Alexander Ikhide, 2020.
We are proud to present ‘KingDom: The Exhibition’. The curatorial project brings together 12 artists and collaborators for the first time in physical space, fulfilling desires to see art in person.
The exhibition is a reverberating response to questions of how to explain the phenomenon of the modern man. Exploring the wonder and toxicity of masculinity in a post #metoo world and building on Jack Halberstam’s poignant encapsulation, “a multiplicity of masculinities”. The exhibition aims to capture the shapes that we all leave on the world without being confined to a gendered taxonomy. ‘Posing’ inquiry into normative, queer and “female masculinity”, the artists in the exhibition create a helter-skelter of imagery and representation that defies clear categorisation in multidisciplinary forms from photography to film to painting to sculpture. KingDom defies “the myth of the interior origin” (Judith Butler) and our artists perform their own pluralistic notions of gender.
