Titled after a lyric from Frank Ocean’s album ‘Blonde’, A Hole Where There Once Was A Logo explores the affective elements of fashion and unpacks how gender is performed, controlled, and organised within retail spaces.

“I feel a conflict in the muddy ways pleasure, desire, and identity are enmeshed with systems of capital and governance. Working in a department store, I frequently experience this as a kind of “frottage”; the ways I express my gender rub-up against the edges of a conservative structure." – Lill Colgan

Using materials from retail spaces, the exhibition co-opts the aesthetics of commercial fashion infrastructure in-order to address the fatigue and frustration that can be formed within these rigid systems.
