Abstract

The exhibition Cabinets of Costume was undertaken as part of an international conference, Culture, Costume, and Dress at Birmingham City University (BCU) in May 2017. Its aim was to highlight two study collections held at BCU — the first, the Historical Dress Archive, which includes the Kate Elizabeth Bunce objects, and the second, the Art and Design Archives. Referencing the previous practice of object-based study to inform current practice at the Municipal School of Art, Birmingham, this paper will explore the cultural and creative capital of this assemblage of everyday historic dress uncovered in 2012 at BCU. Focusing on the Historical Dress Archive the initiative was developed to enable undergraduates across the faculty of Art, Design and Media at BCU to study extant historical dress, creating five representations or ‘ghosts’ of the objects of study. The initiative and exhibition offered an opportunity for a student-academic partnership to share the practices of object-based study as a creative catalyst, to inform costume practices as a live project.

服装的橱柜:通过实践、基于对象的研究和服装组合的“幽灵”重新协商参与

该展览是2017年5月在伯明翰城市大学(BCU)举行的文化、服装和服装国际会议的一部分。它的目的是突出波士顿大学的两个研究收藏——第一个是历史服装档案馆，其中包括凯特·伊丽莎白·邦斯的物品，第二个是艺术与设计档案馆。参考之前的基于对象的研究实践，为伯明翰市立艺术学院的当前实践提供信息，本文将探索2012年在BCU发现的日常历史服装组合的文化和创意资本。该计划的重点是历史服装档案，旨在使BCU艺术、设计和媒体学院的本科生能够研究现存的历史服装，创造出研究对象的五个代表或“幽灵”。该倡议和展览为学生和学术合作伙伴提供了一个机会，分享基于对象的研究作为创造性催化剂的实践，将服装实践作为一个现场项目。
