Lost & Found, Critical Cloth and Remainders
Lost & Found, Critical Cloth and Remainders examine how artists use garments and materials with a previous life, transforming them into something unique and far removed from their past associations or uses. This season heads up three years of activity in which textiles – both contemporary and historical - will be a regular feature of the Castle’s programme, reflecting this important aspect of Nottingham’s history, as well as particular strengths in the collections.
Lost & Found and Critical Cloth have been curated by Deborah Dean, Visual Arts & Exhibitions Manager at Nottingham Castle, and Remainders has been curated by Ashley Gallant, part of a collaborative research project between Nottingham City Museums and Galleries and Nottingham Trent University, School of Art & Design.
The three exhibitions show newly commissioned and existing work from contemporary artists and makers, as well key acquisitions from our Fine Art Textiles and Costume collections, including work by Lucy Brown, Shelly Goldsmith, Amy Houghton, Tanvi Kant, Daniel Marcus Clark, Richard Wentworth and Rhiannon Williams.
