‘GET REAL | REAL SELF’ Joke Robaard and Giene Steenman with editing team Erik Wong, Eva Heisterkamp, Mariëtte Wijne
Curating the exhibition commissioned by Arnhem Fashion Biennale Amber at Museum of Modern Art Arnhem

Get Real/Real Self
The shifting reality of everyday clothing and habits. An ongoing archive that shows the social constructions surrounding the concept of clothing. Visitors were guided through a spatial exposé, from high to low culture, between couture and everyday clothing, from actual garments to photographed garments. Central to this are issues of identity, uniformity, habits and readability. Get Real/Real Self presents the garment as a mediator between private and public, in a way that leaves room for new meanings and associations. What inner processes underlie the system of outer presentation.
