♢ June 25 - July 10 ♢

2 of 3 Issues Curated by Ethan Swan

Laetitia Glenton is an artist based in Manchester, UK, where as one half of Comfortable on a Tightrope, she produces independent concerts, DJs, releases tapes and records. Her visual arts practice is inseparable from her activity in the city’s DIY scene, as her works on paper reflect the languages and concerns of this community. Nostalgia-rich images from discarded advertisements and home photography are damaged and reprocessed in her work, questioning these legacies. Coded messages are hidden in dead languages and punctuation, mirroring the means by which underground scenes communicate. Her work has appeared in exhibitions in the UK, and in numerous small press books and records.
