Scope note
Sculptural works that may be worn on the human body. These are usually meant to be activated or completed by the movement of a wearer in performance situations, though they are frequently exhibited as static objects. Costume or apparel works are often referred to as wearable art, though a distinction should be made between streetwear, costume, and 'wearable art,' here scoped as sculpture.
