The Keep presents…COLLAR
Saturday 17 October
2pm
Christchurch Arts Centre | 2pm-5pm
After a very successful sell out show during New Zealand Fashion Week ..... we have decided to tour COLLAR.
The Iconic Arts Centre GYM will house the exhibition of bespoke collars by 60 select makers’ hands from across Aotearoa.
This collective exhibition brings together a group of invited makers, each responding to the collar as both object and adornment. Personally designed and made by each maker, every piece reflects an individual practice while contributing to a shared narrative that celebrates craftsmanship, process, and the enduring value of making by hand.
Suspended together as a single installation, the collars become a portrait of contemporary making in Aotearoa revealing the richness of material exploration, technical skill, and creative expression across disciplines.
With support from Christchurch City Council, for one afternoon only; Saturday 17th October 2-5pm. Nested comfortably during the Christchurch Spring Fashion Festival.
With a drink on entry if desired .... kindly supplied by our good friends at Pegasus Bay wine.
