Thrifted, gifted, found and manufactured. Presented in tandem with the ICA’s Objects and Power, ReadyReMade is a student exhibition of a collection of objects exploring grief, empowerment, myth, comfort, and memory through a variety of modified readymade objects.

Taking inspiration from Mike Kelly’s work regarding love hours, as a representation of the unseen emotional value embedded into the mundane, ReadyReMade relies on language, staging, context, and displacement to heighten the latent magic residing within these objects.
