The Unbearable Lightness of the Fantastical and Unwearable Art Show: Drawing Rooms
(September 21- November 11, 2023)
My 2 wearable sculptures have been exhibited in "The Unbearable Lightness of the Fantastical and Unwearable Art Show", curated by Anne Traube at Drawing Rooms in Jersey city during JCAST 2023
Exhibition Description
An exhibition extravaganza featuring 10 over-the-top, humorous, playful and imaginative artists working in drawing, installation, photography, video, performance and sculpture, who spin clothing and adornment from everyday matter.
Curator's Statement:
"Poramit Thantapalit uses recyclable materials and trash to create splendid dress forms. Creating artworks from small parts uniquely assembled like a puzzle, his "Flora Frock" is made of hundreds of plastic bottles, yogurt cups, milk jugs and plastic containers glued together to create a life-size hydrangea-like dress. His "Starlette Paper Dress" is made from discarded cardboard boxes and brown paper bags cut into triangles and stapled together into a dress with expansive wings."
Artist Reception: Sat, Sept. 30, 2023, 6-8p
