Appreciating People who Appreciate Art


The Appreciating People who Appreciate Art Camouflage Suit (APAACS) was created as a parodic comment on the superficial nature of Art appreciation in Sydney. The suit enables the wearer to adopt the aesthetic of four stereotypical Art appreciator ‘breeds’ that one would encounter regularly on the streets of Sydney.  The User’s Guide, which you can look through below,  is an ironic dissection of the inner workings of Art appreciation with the central message that people who appreciate Art are often less interested in appreciating Art than in appreciating themselves as Art appreciators and that to become an Art appreciator you need only look the part.
