    This group exhibition presents the work of artists engaged with clothing, adornment, and self-presentation to highlight the inventive design, tactical implementation, or sartorial sense, by which we multiply and complete our personalities. It takes inspiration from this definition by novelist JG Ballard—“Fashion: A recognition that nature has endowed us with one skin too few, and that a fully sentient being should wear its nervous system externally.”
