DEAN KELLAND
IMPOSTER SYNDROME 20 SEPTEMBER – 22 DECEMBER 2023
Ikon’s exhibition is the culmination of British artist Dean Kelland’s four-year artist’s residency at HMP Grendon (2019-2023), funded by the Marie-Louise von Motesiczky Charitable Trust. The exhibition Imposter Syndrome (20 September – 22 December 2023) features a number of Kelland’s new films, prints and sketchbooks that reimagine the psychoanalytic dialogue that has occurred between Pop Art and Prison Art since the 1960s. Referencing figures from popular culture such as Elvis and Boy George, Kelland interrogates male identity and flawed notions of masculinity.
