John Ledger: A Radical Redemption
A Radical Redemption is the solo exhibition by Barnsley-based artist John Ledger. Collapsing autobiography and fiction into one space, the project explores the ongoing legacies produced by the build-up of cultural attitudes and coping methods as they play out in daily life, often destructively.
For over a decade, John has explored the interplay between politics, technology, addiction and mental health in contemporary society through his large-scale, chaotic-yet-meticulous drawings. Using film, word-play and sonic sculpture, A Radical Redemption operates from 鈥榯he lived in鈥�: hypothetical situations are taken to their darkly-introspective limits. Is it possible to talk of redemption in an age dogged by division and the related guilt/shame? How might you act when the impossible seems urgently necessary?
