DITA ANGELES ON DISPLAY 📣 Highlighting today a few pieces from Dita’s wonderful collection, ‘Pseudoplicity’. This exhibition is Dita’s debut show at Lethbridge Gallery on display until May 12. “Pseudoplicity names a performed inauthenticity - a multilayered system in which simulation, repetition and concealment operate as aesthetic strategies”. Dita’s method of painting multiplicities within her pieces makes each ‘pseudo-woman’ feels manufactured and false, yet exists in a convincing and deliberately fabricated reality. See these pieces in person at Lethbridge Gallery today or visit our online catalogue at the link in bio. 🔗 📅 PSEUDOPLICITY April 24 - May 12 Lethbridge Gallery
