“Camp: Notes on Fashion” explores the origins of camp’s exuberant aesthetic and how the sensibility evolved from a place of marginality to become an important influence on mainstream culture. #MetCamppic.twitter.com/hoiLo9Djv4
Susan Sontag’s 1964 essay “Notes on ‘Camp’” provides the framework for the exhibition. #MetCamppic.twitter.com/MsHGHFNQgA
The exhibition features approximately 250 objects, including womenswear and menswear, as well as sculptures, paintings, and drawings dating from the 17th century to the present. #MetCamppic.twitter.com/LTFMAYjGUn
The show’s opening section positions Versailles as a “camp Eden” and addresses the concept of se camper—“to posture boldly”—in the royal courts of Louis XIV and Louis XV. #MetCamppic.twitter.com/gHgBRFsNrV
It then focuses on the figure of the dandy as a “camp ideal” and trace camp’s origins to the queer subcultures of Europe and America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. #MetCamppic.twitter.com/6axaL75P7B
The largest section of the exhibition is devoted to how elements discussed in Sontag’s essay—including irony, humor, parody, pastiche, artifice, theatricality, and exaggeration—are expressed in fashion. #MetCamppic.twitter.com/R7WJNcVbt4
