Installation at Momentum 12 “Together as to Gather”, Galleri F 15, Moss, curated by Tenthaus
10 June – 8 October 2023
National Utopia presents three sets of harnesses and jockstraps that are inspired by traditional patterns from Norwegian folk costumes. Just like many Norwegian folk garments nowadays, these items have also been made by local craftsmen in Estonia. The garments combine embroidery, leather art and metal work and act as a tribute to the craftsmanship that goes into making traditional attire.
