La Kaje is an artist run project space established by Jacques Louis Vidal and Kate Levant in February 2017. Encouraging exploration of the uncomfortable edges of artistic practice, La Kaje supports modes of making that are explicitly difficult to describe and in need of participatory testing grounds.  It is our aim to disown the cynicism symptomatic of the over-professionalization of the art world.  Through heterogeneous programming, and a spirit of spontaneity, La Kaje stands as a place to suspend belief, and develop experimental voices without the anxieties of the marketplace. For more information on La Kaje: lakaje.hotglue.me/

This exhibition is the ninth in a series of online exhibitions curated exclusively from White Columns’ Curated Artist Registry.
