Description

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. Although some of the artists used clothing as a medium, others chose more unusual materials, such as buttons, doilies, plastic scraps, shoes, and dollar bills.
