Title: Textile Palette Exhibition - Distortion, the evolution of body enhancement
Venue: Esmond Gallery at The Warehouse Clunes Victoria
Date: Saturday April 6th - Sunday April 28th 2024
Website: Textile Palette Exhibition
The theme for the 2024 Textile Palette Exhibition is titled Distortion, the evolution of body enhancement.
The aim of this exhibition is to explore how artists perspectives challenge or accept dominant narratives regarding human physiology and body image; a contemplative topic, manifested and contested in many discussions in contemporary society. Artists are invited to think about body enhancement in its multiplicity and as new worlds of body imagery open up and collide with narratives as we know them, what possibilities lay ahead.
In concert with the theme Distortion, the evolution of body enhancement, artists have been asked to reflect on the social/cultural mores and norms of a modern or historical timeframe, to explore physical enhancement or body modification; who was involved; why was it done; what was the outcome; where and how long did the trend last if not continued?
