Be Yourself, Everyone Else is Already Taken is the first UK solo exhibition by Coventry artist Daniel Lismore, who has gained international recognition for his work in art, fashion and activism.
Platforming themes of personal expression and self-preservation, this major exhibition showcases ensembles worn by Daniel throughout his career as "living sculpture", fashioned from his personal collection of over 7000 curiosities. Filling multiple rooms, the sculptures are displayed alongside his personal archive of photography, film and found objects, many of which are on display for the first time.
Be Yourself, Everyone Else is Already Taken runs at the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum from 18 February-26 June 2022. Tickets are free and available to book now at coventry2021.co.uk/what-s-on/...
The exhibition is co-curated by Vortex Creates, co-produced with Gary Everett and supported by Avanti West Coast.
