Seth Price: Folklore

Based on a project unveiled at Documenta 13, Folklore U.S. by Seth Price, brings together fabric sculptures produced by the garment industry, wall-hung plywood works, vacuum-formed sculptures, and a line of military-inspired clothing made together with New York based fashion designer Tim Hamilton.

The 2014 publication Folklore U.S. addresses the intersection between the contemporary fields of finance, cultural critique, industry, labor and aesthetics. Including three interviews between various contributors (Seth Price and Christopher Bollen, Bosko Blagojevic and Ben Morgan-Cleveland, Bettina Funcke and Ben Morgan-Cleveland), Price uses anecdotes and speculation to guide readers through fabrication processes, materials, and fashion industry protocols.
