We are a group of UAL Curating and Collection graduates and activists actively involved in the subculture, recycling, and experimental art. Reflecting on elite culture and supporting marginalised groups and objects is what we want to achieve in the exhibition. As Goblincore is an aesthetic item based on an appreciation of the natural world and is more concerned with the living conditions of non-dominant species. By collecting the world, we aim to challenge mainstream cultural aesthetic conventions by digging up the unattended, yet deeply meaningful objects of daily life. Our selection of contemporary art is more rebellious, addressing social and environmental concerns, criticizing social Darwinism, and reflecting on consumer culture and capitalism.
