Joshua Clague: At night, I lock the do...
Joshua Clague will perform At night, I lock the doors, where no one else can see, which has been created specially for his exhibition at Bluecoat.
During his performance, the gallery is transformed from a quiet space of contemplation and reflection, into a joyful space in which a carousel of dance routines by Lady Gaga, Beyonce, and Janet Jackson are projected into the gallery.
Clague, skilfully re-enacts each of these iconic performances. We’re led to thinking about what fandom means, and how pop culture can shape us. This shaping occurs both mentally and physically, from the perception we have about who we are and where we fit in the world, to the muscle memory of imitating the idols that we love.
