“Abnormcore” EXhibition
Room East
This event has ended.
Perhaps you are familiar with the term normcore, which bubbled up through the web late last year to be embraced by several major media outlets. Propagated by the trend-forecasting group K Hole, normcore rejects, in theory, all alternatives in favor of sameness. An oft-cited example of the term’s use is as it applies to fashion: when one spots someone wearing Seinfeld’s “Dad” jeans… No further explanation required, right? Yet you could argue that one person’s take on individuality is another person’s idea of sameness and vice versa. Thus, attempts to pinpoint what is normcore are as futile as defining radical difference. Taking inspiration from the typewritten poetry of Carl Andre and the rarely seen furniture design of David Lynch, the summer show brings together a range of works that play with the line between deviance and conformity. After all, we are all reacting to something or someone somewhere, so why not give it a new name, again.
