About

Over the last 50 years printmaking has often been the answer to combining fine art with popular culture and functionality, allowing the artist to mass produce work for sale. We hope to take this a step further, as I Hate Clothing is an ongoing project that combines the ideology of the fine art world with the functionality and relevance of commercial business, while also exploring and exploiting the internet as a new forum for exhibition and commerce of contemporary art. All articles for sale are created using screen-printing, a technique that has long been used for the sale of mass-produced articles in common culture, but also recognized as an established medium for the contemporary fine arts since the Renaissance.  While generally most articles of clothing available to the public are screen-printed in a traditional manufactured environment, the shirts distributed through I Hate Clothing are individually printed by hand; each screen is designed, created, burned, and personally printed by the artist/business owner. Essentially, I Hate Clothing effectively combines contemporary artwork with the commercial world, selling each shirt as a hand-made work of art complete with the printed signature of the artist on the inner label. Customers are meant to be the force that redefines the term “art”, as they are welcome to browse the gallery-formatted website, in which each shirt design is displayed in the same manner that any other fine artist would present one of their pieces.
