What's on:
FOR YOUR PLEASURE – Gabija Jocyte
🗓 Opening: Thursday 1 May, 6–9PM
📍 Pollen Studio + Gallery, 1st Floor, 7 North Street, Belfast
Part of Late Night Art Belfast
We’re proud to present For Your Pleasure, a solo exhibition by Gabija Jocyte, recipient of the Pollen Graduate Award 2024.
In this striking new body of work, Gabija explores the complex tensions between viewer and object, performance and observation, pleasure and discomfort. For Your Pleasure navigates themes of violence, voyeurism, and the ever-present gaze that shapes how we view and are viewed. Through installation and performance, she asks what it means to look—and what it means to be seen.
Gabija Jocyte (b. 2003) is a Lithuanian artist based in Belfast. Working across installation, sculpture, and performance, her practice interrogates power dynamics in the act of looking. A graduate of the Belfast School of Art (2024) and current MFA student, she has performed at the Belfast International Festival of Performance Art and is the recipient of multiple awards, including Bbeyond, Engine Room Gallery, Queen Street Studios, and Pollen Studios.
Come experience this bold show as we kick off May’s Late Night Art.
The show will run from May 1st to May 22nd at Pollen Studio + Gallery. Viewings on request.
