Public events
The residency, entitled I: 01 APRONS, refers to a category of object at the Fashion Museum Bath (FMB). This forms the starting conversation between Professor Judith Clark and Professor Carol Tulloch.
What is the definition of an Apron? Aprons, always mobile and detachable, create a unique case study from which to reflect upon their design, use, and critical meaning; their cultural, labour, racial, and class identities – as tools of protection and activism.
Clark and Tulloch will archive, care for and explore ways in which research can be physically staged. They will consider how personal narratives, space and visitor perspectives are bridged.
The residency will provide time and space for Tulloch and Clark to respond to the FMB aprons archive. They will study a new private collection. Alongside this they will develop a proposal for a hypothetical exhibition. They will be thinking through a process of sustained conversation-investigations.
Clark and Tulloch will invite guests to expand the conversations into adjacent disciplines. There will also be some public outputs during the residency as conversations develop. These will lead to a small, illustrated publication.
