Vacancy

Katie Shannon
Celine Gallery
20/01 – 02/03/2024
Open Saturday 1-5 pm

Celine is pleased to present Vacancy by Katie Shannon. Referencing live performances, which foreground friendship alliances and often employ handmade fetishistic couture, Shannon presents a selection of garments and works on paper which suggest filmic moments and framings. Together, these artefacts evoke a state of energetic melancholia, countering ennui and loss with collaboration and shared experiences of sensuality and excess.

There will be a closing party at Exit to celebrate the end of the exhibition Vacancy by Katie Shannon on Saturday, March 2nd.
