Group Show: The Throat of the Snake
Past exhibition
-
COMA is pleased to present a group presentation, titled The Throat of the Snake, on view through 21 October – 19 November 2022, and running across both gallery locations. Included artists are Diane Chappalley, Jack Lanagan Dunbar, Yuan Fang, Alina Perez, Farah Al Qasimi, Sungsil Ryu, Justin Williams and Mikey Yates.
Centred around mortality and resistance via individuals or ideas that – either earthly, mythological, incorporeal, conceptual – exhibit points of ambiguity regarding their existence as a whole or ability to expire. Through legacy or a deathlessness, relationships to others and associated surroundings The Throat of the Snake probes the persistence that is living and an enigmatic opposition to disappearing.

“This painting depicts a kid playing basketball on
a military base. The opponents are transparent,
imagined defenders taking the place of friends whose
parents had been stationed elsewhere. In this painting
I was thinking about losing people at a young age,
constant relocation, and the rapid turnover of families
on military installations. The title cites a Lil Wayne
song from Tha Carter.”Mikey Yates
