Critical Costume 2020
Critical Costume 2020 (CC 2020) is a workshop, conference and art exhibition. The conference will inquire how a costume can generate or be the centre in a performance. In the upcoming conference, artists and academics will discuss how the costume actually does so.
What is the role of the costume in a performance? Can, for instance, the costume be at “the centre of gravitation”, as opposed to the text? This is what the project Costume Agency set out to explore in 2018, when project leader and professor in costume design at KHiO, Christina Lindgren, started the project which this year’s Critical Costume conference will explore.
Critical Costume 2020 (CC 2020) is a conference and art exhibition from August 21st - 23rd, 2020. The Critical Costume Exhibition 2020: Costume Agency featuresmartists stemming from diverse artistic fields—Costume Design, Theater, Fine Art, Fashion, Craft, Jewelry Art, Film—working with costume as their main tool, often as a starting point of a performance, intervention or installation.
