The Hodge Podge

Published on the occasion of a major exhibition at The Hepworth Wakefield, this personal selection of images by Jarvis Cocker and Kim Sion showcases visual artists who have challenged mainstream expectations about what art can be.
Yorkshire-born musician Jarvis Cocker and his wife, creative consultant Kim Sion, are the creators of The Hodge Podge, a personal selection of artworks across an eclectic range of media and time periods.
The Hodge Podge includes artists who have challenged mainstream ideas about what can be considered art. It invites unlikely conversations and interesting encounters between artists such as Jeremy Deller, Peter Doig, Barbara Hepworth, Klara Kristalova, Emma Kunz, Mark Leckey and Agnes Pelton, as well as outsider and visionary artists never exhibited in UK public museums.
Interested in alternative means of expression, the structures of class and how communities can come together outside religious or high-brow contexts, Cocker and Sion consider alternative spiritualities, psychedelia, fandom, dreams, poetry, music and more. The Hodge Podge will encourage readers to explore the many ways that creativity occurs inside and outside of cultural norms, bringing together both the familiar and strange.
