Author Description

Folklore U.S. (2012 - 2014), by Seth Price, brings together fabric sculptures produced by the garment industry, wall-hung plywood works, vacuum-formed sculptures, and a line of military-inspired clothing made together with New York based fashion designer Tim Hamilton. To varying degrees - in employing envelope interior security patterns - these works address the motif of the standard business envelope, as both container and symbol. In conjunction with the exhibition, the clothing line was launched by an evening fashion show and sold at SinnLeffers, a department store located next to the Fridericianum, historically dOCUMENTA's main venue.
