"Cocker and Sion's approach to the show emerges from their shared fascination with alternative and diverse forms of expression-ones that defy contexts, structures, and traditions. That framework is set out in the couple's Hodge Podge Manifesto."
"The text emphasizes there's beauty to be found in such chaos or disorder. 'We want to bring that beauty to the Hepworth Wakefield in 2027,' they wrote."
"The show will be bookended by an immersive Dreamachine, a device created in 1959 by artist Brion Gysin and programmer Ian Sommerville. Cocker and Sion describe it as 'a machine that shows us that our minds make art-without us even thinking about it.'"
In May 2027, the Hepworth Wakefield will feature an exhibition titled 'Hodge Podge,' curated by Jarvis Cocker and Kim Sion. The show will include artworks that challenge traditional art concepts, showcasing pieces from various media and time periods. The couple's Hodge Podge Manifesto emphasizes the beauty in chaos and disorder. An immersive Dreamachine will bookend the exhibition, illustrating how the mind creates art unconsciously. Cocker and Sion's collaboration stems from their shared passion for alternative expressions, rooted in their personal connection and artistic vision.
