No place for mannequins: Remaking the fashion archive
- Curators: Dr Todd Robinson and Dr Ricarda Bigolin
- 12 February – 24 April 2026
- UTS Gallery
No place for mannequins: Remaking the fashion archive is a group exhibition exploring the shifting form and status of the contemporary fashion archive.
Artists: Alix Higgins, D and K, Femke de Vries, Hansol Kim, Justine Woods, Kyra Mancktelow, Marco Marino, Tim Hardy, Todd Robinson, and XEROXED with Library of Unruly Fashion Practices.
In fashion, the archive has long operated as a site of authority, shaping narratives of dress, design, and consumption. No place for mannequins brings together local and international artists and designers who unsettle the fashion archive’s authority and reimagine its foundations. Curated by Dr Todd Robinson (UTS) and Dr Ricarda Bigolin (RMIT), the exhibition foregrounds critical fashion practices that are reshaping what counts within and beyond the fashion archive.
To coincide with the exhibition, UTS will host Opening Up the Fashion Archive, a two-day symposium taking place between March 11–12 2026, featuring local and international critical fashion practice and research.
