Dress Codes: Clothing As Metaphor

Barbara J. Bloemink

0/5 ( ratings)

This exhibition includes the work of a growing number of international artists who, since the 1990s, have used clothing in conceptual ways to explore ideas about race, ethnicity, gender, globalization, war, and violence.

The sculptures and installations in Dress Codes were at turns serious, satirical, amazing, and beautiful. Although some of the artists used clothing as a medium, others chose such unusual materials as buttons, doilies, plastic scraps, shoes, and dollar bills. Curator Barbara Bloemink's catalogue essay decodes their sometimes subtle messages.
