Lindsay Mendick: SH*TFACED

Jupiter Artland is delighted to announce Lindsey Mendick as the artist for their 2023 season. Having previously collaborated with Jupiter at their acclaimed Jupiter Rising festival, Jupiter is thrilled to host Mendick’s first solo show in Scotland, which will be presented across all of Jupiter Artland’s galleries.

Lindsey Mendick’s work is one of confession, where taboo topics and uncomfortable truths are revealed with candour and humour. Her work is characterised by an intense attention to detail and verisimilitude, whereby everyday scenes – a nightclub, a kitchen, a bedroom – are expertly crafted in ceramic and staged in larger-than-life tableaux. Mendick is transforming Jupiter’s Ballroom Gallery and Steadings Gallery into a diptych of nightlife; one that draws inspiration from the gothic novella The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde with all its troubling contentions of virtue, appearance, public shaming and masking.
