About the Exhibition:
Wearable:Art is a group exhibition focused on the unique relationship between art and clothing. Most people would use the term fashion, but I feel there is a DIY movement in the arts where artists create unique pieces that they wear personally or for peers. Contrast this versus a mass produced piece of clothing; these pieces influence culture and fashion. Art is used to express their identity directly onto their clothing. I wanted to curate a selection of work that encompasses a wide range of styles, bridging traditional graffiti with more emerging DIY fashion. I wanted to capture the culture’s imprint and constant impact on society’s look and feel. Let’s celebrate the handmade, incorporating the 1/1 nature of art. This is not a fashion show, it’s an art exhibition where the medium is clothing and each piece will be exhibited as a unique work of art. – Poesia
