Society of 23's Conservatory
Works by Jeffery Songco
January 2 – March 4, 2025
Society of 23’s Conservatory is a multi-media exhibition of installation art, photography, and video. For the last fifteen years, Jeffrey Augustine Songco has continued to make artwork based on the Society of 23 — a fictional brotherhood of 23 mysterious gentlemen all portrayed by the artist himself. Songco’s artwork examines the construction of his personal identities and their relationships to the actual society in which he exists. In Society of 23’s Conservatory, the artist explores a complicated relationship between his identity as an American of Filipino ethnicity and the colonial American behavior of conspicuously collecting “exotic” plants during the US rule over the Philippines from 1898 - 1946. Visitors to Lamont Gallery are invited to wander through the immersive site-specific installation which highlights the unique floor plan and interior details of the space, including 3 rarely exposed skylights.
