EVENT WEBSITE

FRILLS: Glories, Excess, and Getting Weird is a contemporary art exhibition featuring work that subverts common notions of extravagance by playing with the boundaries between frill and the plainness of everyday life. Each artist sources materials from their personal experiences and domestic surrounding both mundane and intimate. The banality of these objects is transformed through embellishment and decoration, revealing how frills are a necessary form of human processing that allows for greater appreciation and rediscovery of the forms, memories, and objects that surround us.
