2024
In collaboration with Bungee Space and Verconiik, HONMI's first pop up is an experiment in transforming a once ‘cold-office’ setting as a sleek retail environment that reinterprets the idea of kitsch through the aesthetics of simulation—that rejects the norms of business casual. Along the threads of post structural ‘corp-core’ culture, the project disrupts traditional retail norms by blending the sterile and utilitarian with deliberate artifice and excess. CLASSIFIED blurs the boundaries of functionality and spectacle.
In bringing the energy of global artists to Boston, and inviting the community to take part in it, CLASSIFIED is an invitation to look more closely where you least expect it, featuring global fashion designers and other artists with a mix of one-of-one and archival clothing pieces, and rare art books.
