Fashion\u2019s spring collection has arrived at the AGYU. Guest designer Camilla Singh\u2019s new line of work-wear inaugurates her fashion label Filthy by Nature and proves that it is more fashionable than ever to be out there. The artist-curator-organizer-performer now adds fashion designer to her impressive list of credits in this one-off collection of \u201cuniforms\u201d designed specifically for Canadian curators. Despite the niche market for these unique \u201cuniforms,\u201d AGYU keeps accessibility fashionable too. The spring collection\u2019s debut runs until June 16, 2014, and admission to everything is free. Everyone is welcome.<\/p>\n

Uniforms for Non-Uniform Work is comprised of six \u201cuniforms\u201d for six specific Canadian curators (to be revealed at the gala reception!). Each is situated within a series of mini installations embedded within the overall design of the exhibition in order to spatially manifest ideas related to each curator\u2019s unique practice. Through the use of sculptural objects and \u201cprops\u201d that are set in relation to the \u201cuniforms,\u201d or the creation of custom-designed support systems which literally hold them up, Singh furthermore stages the behind-the-scenes \u201cmanagement\u201d (from interns to institutions, etc.) on which all curatorial work depends. Taken as a whole, Uniforms for Non-Uniform Work implicitly acknowledges the embedded role of curating in exhibition-making and of art making in curatorial practice. Oh, and, of course, the importance of fashion to both\u2026.<\/p>\n
