Mal(e)Feasance - Private View

In a system of demarcation that favours individuals over others disguised as a meritocracy, there is still a desperate need for the creation of platforms that attempt to right this disparity. Manifesting the reparative qualities of work through repetition, invocation and making is a means of empowerment in the face of judgment.

Looking at language associated with the alienation of female identifying and gender non-binary individuals, specifically as makers, the work becomes a tool of unification through the creation of an autonomous platform. Showcasing artist from the Royal College of Art pursuing contemporary art practices, through moving image, digital, sculpture, performance and installation the final exhibition will attempt to create an incantation to galvanize and mobilize both artists and viewers.

Operating since 2012, Ugly Duck is an arts organisation that revitalises underused spaces by opening them up for creative uses. Our programme enables makers, community groups, professionals and the public to come together. By hosting unique cultural experiences and curated events we promote and support under-represented and emerging artists.
