Wearing, Wearing

Curated by Felicity Wong, Wearing, Wearing features six artists who employ strategies of abstraction, repurposing, amalgamation, and deconstruction to investigate the relationships between clothing and decay. Embedded in histories of racial and colonial capitalism, the garment industry has not only laid waste to our environments, but also rendered garment laborers invisible, dispensable, and machine-like. Moving away from aspirations towards luxury fashion, this exhibition asks how mundane, cheap, and dying garments can contribute to but also help us navigate landscapes of decay.
