Joshua Clague: and it feels like I just got home
Fri 9 Feb - Mon 1 Apr
Joshua Clague’s and it feels like I just got home, echoed Madonna’s Ray of Light. Clague was interested in enduring memories of the female voice in his life. The exhibition often riffed on the pop-icons and divas that he once emulated. His work lays out how his sense of self changed at different times, in different places.
Clague has a longstanding connection with the Bluecoat. He had a studio space at Bluecoat from March 2023 as part of the New Contemporaries Studio Bursary and also used the gallery during this time as a space for making new work.
Joshua Clague is a visual artist. Originally from Merseyside, Clague graduated from Goldsmiths, University of London. Working with writing, installation, textiles, photography and performance, their work crystallises themes of love, memory, family, fandom and form.
Clague exhibited as part of Bloomberg New contemporaries 2022 in both Ferens Art Gallery and South London Gallery.
