20.02.26, 20:30, Embodied Curating, HAY ROPA TENDIDA

A week-long exchange between master students from KASK & Conservatorium's fashion programme and the curators-in-development of Curatorial Studies, results in a final showing at CAMPO. Together they examine questions around performance, fashion, and curation. Come and witness a new generation of designers and curators reinventing their fields.

The twenty-first century has witnessed a growing number of exhibitions dedicated to fashion designers and clothing history, along with performative activations of costume and clothing archives in museums, galleries, and in live arts settings. Central to the design and conception of these exhibitions are considerations of how to curate and stage the human body: how to involve live bodies and how to emulate, reproduce, or reference their forms. In parallel to these museal gestures, the fashion world constantly shifts the scope and form of its public-facing expression through experimental runway shows that blur the lines of dance and performance art, and fashion editorials produced as short films.
