Odd Socks Exhibition
Odd Socks Exhibition
The Civic is creating a new Exhibition – The ODD SOCK EXHIBITION
Everyone has odd socks.
It’s a fact of life.
Odd socks are a common phenomenon in every household. They are often seen as a nuisance, something to be discarded or tossed away. However, odd socks can also be seen as a symbol of individuality, creativity, and the unexpected.
One day they are a pair, and the next day, one is gone.
These socks usually don’t look like others.
If they were all dark blue socks with no colours, or pictures, or words then they would find another to be paired with, and they would not be odd anymore.
No, these are different.
These are the socks that once had purpose, socks that told stories, socks that meant something -and we want to explore that!
So we want your odd socks, and those of the entire community, to create this exhibition
If the sock has a story or a memory, we would love that as well to hang alongside it.
This exhibition will create a visual experience for visitors to the venue to engage with, and to allow the potential of community participation in producing and contributing to the exhibition.
It is intended that this exhibition will initially run from the first week in January through to early March and it will be displayed in the foyer.
Themes
“Odd Socks” isn’t designed to be interpreted in one particular way, but we are hoping that it can be used to explore a variety of themes, and discussions could be encouraged on a range of subjects including: the beauty of imperfection, the importance of community, and of diversity and individuality.
The beauty of imperfection: Odd socks are a reminder that even the most mundane objects can be beautiful, even if they are not perfect. The exhibition could celebrate the uniqueness of each odd sock and the way that they can come together to create something new and unexpected.
The importance of community: Even though odd socks are often seen as misfits they can
