The Museum of Arts and Design is delighted to present the very first global survey exhibition dedicated to the use of clothing as a medium of visual art: Garmenting/ Costume as Contemporary Art. The exhibition, which will be on view March 12 to August 14 2022, examines works by thirty-five international contemporary artists including Raphael Barontini. Either by making or altering clothes these artists will be creating sculpture, garnments, perfomance and installation art that transforms dresss into critical tools for investigate issues of subjectivity, difference and identity.
Alexandra Schwartz , the New-York based art historian, curator and adjunct professor at the School of Graduate Studies at SUNY Fashion Institute of Technology, will be guest curator.
