Description
Sweet Release is a community party celebrating the work of queer and underrepresented artists. Initiated by Jamie Shaw and Lillian Wilkie, the project explores partying as a practice of community-building, publishing as a process of building and sustaining publics, and parties as acts of publishing in themselves.
On the occasion of Photo London 2025, Sweet Release presented an exhibition of previously unseen images by Jesse Glazzard at the Dalston nightclub Sui Generis, exploring intimacy, devastation, and euphoria – and the spaces where they all intersect. There’s sex: sex in churches, sex in cars, sex as a political ‘fuck you’. But the work is also about reclaiming a kind of queer mundane, as ordinariness is often something not afforded or not visible in queer culture and expression. Alongside the trauma and eroticism, Glazzard reminds us that queer and trans people experience and enjoy the same everyday, commonplace things everyone else does. The unique works, printed digitally from scanned hand prints, hold intensity and tenderness simultaneously. Printed in an edition of one, they were taped to the walls of the club, and thus are imbued with the material and spiritual effects of that space.

We are pleased to also be able to offer an affordable open edition print from the series. 100% of the proceeds from the sale are divided between the artist and the grass roots organisation Trans Femme Social.
