WARDROBE REVOLUTION WEEKEND: JEREMY HUTCHISON

WARDROBE REVOLUTION WEEKEND: JEREMY HUTCHISON

October 7, 2023
Share
We will be joined by Jeremy Hutchison at this year's Selvedge Wardrobe Revolution Weekend. Hutchison is a visual artist based in London. He works with performance, video, sculpture and text. His work intervenes in consumer culture, using humour to subvert corporate imperialism and propose alternatives to an absurd status quo.

He has exhibited at the ICA, Modern Art Oxford, Fondazione Prada, EVA Biennale, Z33, Casino Luxembourg, Kunstverein Wiesbaden, Lisson Gallery, Victoria & Albert Museum, Jerwood Space, Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof, Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington, Budapest Design Biennale, British Textile Biennale, Qalandiya Biennale, Korean Cultural Centre and Southbank Centre. Having attended the Slade School of Fine Art, he was a fellow of the Whitney Museum Studio Program. He is the director of Kunsthallo, an artist-run space.

At the Wardrobe Revolution Weekend, Jeremy will discuss his new artwork - Dead White Man - which launches this year at the British Textile Biennial. This work explores the global trade in secondhand clothes: Wearing sculptures made from used garments sourced in Senegalese markets, he transforms his caucasian body into a spectre of waste colonialism: a monster that is grotesque, dazzling and absurd. In doing so, he performs the morbid logic that hovers around the secondhand clothing trade - presenting it as a kind of zombie imperialism. In his talk, Jeremy will contest the myths that sanitise the secondhand clothing trade - with its reassuring claims to charity, sustainability and reuse. Instead, he will explore the racist ideology that treats the Global South as a waste management solution.

Wardrobe Revolution Weekend will be held on Saturday 4 November 2023. An online event hosted on Zoom. The event will be recorded.
