Art & Fashion Residency 2013

Over the last two years Khoj has invited several artists and practitioners from within fashion to explore the possible synergies and crossovers between the two disciplines. Through a series of residencies and related programs, artists-in-residence have explored myriad themes within fashion and have opened up several exciting avenues of inquiry. Works developed in Khoj’s fashion residencies have looked at the material possibilities of textiles and fabrics, have created conversations around issues of copy and appropriation, have begun to address the idea of clothing as an extension of the body and have discussed notions of clothing as symbolic and visual language. To continue its ongoing engagement with fashion, Khoj is curating a third edition of its Art & Fashion residency in November 2013 at Khoj Studios in New Delhi. Participants in the residency will continue investigation into the above mentioned themes, while simultaneously unpacking new directions and evolving new conversations between the two disciplines.
