Unstable Objects

An exhibition by: Felicia Aaliyah Sanchez Buitrago, Joris Janssen, Mikolaj Szwaja, Simone Winder and Johanne Fage-Larsen

Guided by: Tenant of Culture

The exhibition Unstable Objects is a presentation of works by the second year students from the fashion department of the Gerrit Rietveld Academie. The works in the exhibition respond to the subject of waste by utilising techniques such as reinterpretation and mis-use. The exhibitors have transformed bodily, industrial and personal debris into works that question the value systems at work behind what is treasured and what is cast aside. From a collection of trimmed sleeves, to strands of recently cut hair, an heirloom that has been sitting in a drawer, fabric scraps or hyper gendered garments, all works in the exhibition suggest potential for how to transform, subvert or care for what we leave behind.
