Jarvis Cocker and Kim Sion to Curate 2027 Hepworth Wakefield Exhibition

In 2027, Jarvis Cocker, the lead singer of Pulp, and his wife Kim Sion, a creative consultant, will curate an exhibition at The Hepworth Wakefield in the UK, named 'The Hodge Podge.' This show will showcase a diverse array of artworks spanning different eras and media, highlighting artists who defy standard art definitions. It will be Cocker's inaugural curatorial endeavor at a prominent institution. The exhibition aims to foster unexpected interactions among artists like Peter Doig, Barbara Hepworth, and Jeremy Deller, as well as outsider artists and those not previously shown in the UK. The couple plans to delve into themes such as alternative spiritualities, psychedelia, and self-expression, articulating their vision through a manifesto that defines a 'hodgepodge' as a chaotic collection.
