For ten days in December, exhibition three took place at Stuart Shave Modern Art gallery in London. The exhibition brought together a collection of garments and furniture entirely made in England, a collaboration with London-based bespoke shoemaker Sebastian Tarek, and an immersive mid-century HiFi lecture by Peter Kapos of Das Programm/System Studios.

We presented a site-specific capsule collection of garments sewn in London with materials exclusively sourced from within England - horn buttons from the Midlands, woolen cloth from Fox Brothers in Wellington, Somerset (some of which had been woven from British wool) and lined with cotton cloth woven in West Yorkshire. The furniture similarly was made just a few hours from London with naturally felled, sustainably salvaged English Oak. Continuing the narrative from exhibition one, this was the first time the ideology of regional product had been transported and applied to another country entirely. 

The space was open daily - visitors could see Tarek crafting a pair of the collaborative shoes on site throughout the week, amidst a special installation by florist Amber Luu. On December  9th, there was a live performance by London’s experimental jazz trio Flur (which you can listen to here). On weekends, Peter Kapos offered visitors a unique lecture experience - recorded on vinyl and played on a mid-Century HiFi system, accompanied by a slideshow projected on vintage equipment collected by Kapos.
