Camp@Clamp
The exhibition at ClampArt draws together artwork selected by a wide range of artists, living and deceased, who have created objects that deal with the theme of camp鈥攂oth conceptually and stylistically. The debate over what is 鈥渃amp鈥� is never-ending. What is the distinction between camp and kitsch? Championing style over substance, can there be political potential in camp? In an era of 鈥淩upaul鈥檚 Drag Race鈥� and Gucci鈥檚 sponsorship of The Met鈥檚 鈥淐amp: Notes on Fashion,鈥� does the ship tank when everyone climbs on board?
No one exhibition can encompass all that is camp. Nor can anyone chronicle the whole history of camp. In that spirit, the gallery invites small-scale additions to the show through its seven-week run. After all, camp is not just appearance, but also performance.
