On the occasion of The Kitchen's 2019 Editions Portfolio Program, Cy Gavin created this limited edition, wearable, embroidered jumpsuit. The work is inspired by a similar garment Gavin made for his participation in Laura Parnes’s film project Tour Without End, presented at The Kitchen in 2018. Like Gavin, Parnes seeks to make visible personal and political traumas thathaveotherwise been repressed by society. By embroidering the human body’s interior organsonto the exterior of the garment, Gavin’s jumpsuit literally embodies this “inside-out” ethos.

Proceeds from the sale of this limited edition will support artists whose groundbreaking, genre-defying work appears at The Kitchen throughout the upcoming season.
