#repost @madmuseum ・・・ Opening this Saturday, March 12, Garmenting: Costume as Contemporary Art is the first global survey dedicated to the use of clothing as a medium of visual art. The exhibition examines the work of thirty-five international contemporary artists who are creating garments, sculpture, installation, and performance art that transforms dress into a critical tool. Adopted globally as an artistic strategy, garmenting uses the language of fashion to challenge traditional divisions of form and function, cast a critical eye on the construction of gender, advance political activism, and address cultural difference. Become a member and preview the exhibition on Friday, March 11! You will also enjoy an exclusive tour with the exhibition’s curator Alexandra Schwartz (@alixschwartz), discounts on the exhibition’s upcoming performances, and more.
