‘Back To Normalism’

Apologies for posting this so soon after xmas, but this show is also very soon.

This time, however, there’s much more time to see the work: Back to Normalism will be held at both Micklegate Social and Fossgate Social in York from Friday 13th of January to 13th of March 2023.

“Back to Normalism”, a solo exhibition by John Ledger (b. 1984, Barnsley, South Yorkshire), is about a time and culture that has been uprooted and disjointed by a series of crises, plus the reality distorting consequences of trying to repeatedly return to a `before´ moment. The exhibition uses a collection of the artist´s works that span form the present to the last 14 years, back to the 2008 financial crisis, in order to explore what John suggests with a culture that feels increasingly stuck and detached from itself.
