Wellness, Wigs and Weapons

Wellness, Wigs and Weapons unfolds as a series of boutiques where the familiar logic of shopping takes an unexpected turn. The exhibition is organised into three zones: wellness, wigs and weapons. Together, they reflect realities that increasingly intertwine beyond the exhibition space itself. Wellness relates to personal care and wellbeing, weapons evoke collective tension and violence, while wigs point to the artificial and constructed nature of identity and appearance.

Within these environments, distinctions between people, commodities, design, production and spatial infrastructure begin to blur. Elements of wallpaper and advertising aesthetics seep into the objects on display, influencing how they are perceived. The textures of trees interact with the materials of a refrigerator, suggesting a continuum between commodities and the infrastructure that surrounds them.

What initially attracts the viewer gradually becomes unsettling. Wigs resemble organic growths, wallpapers transform into disinfectants, and weapons acquire an intimate, almost wearable quality. The exhibition creates a space that is at once seductive and disorienting.

At its core, Wellness, Wigs and Weapons reflects on presentation, consumption and desire. How are objects made appealing? What happens when the boundaries between product, environment and identity begin to dissolve?

From 9 until 22 October, the exhibition remains open to the public during its build-up period.

On 23 October, a public event titled Health and Sanity Check marks the formal launch of the project.

The exhibition will conclude with a festive finissage during Museum Night. Separate tickets are required for this event and can be purchased through the Museum Night organisation.
