Aitor Throup – FROM THE MOOR

Internationally renowned artist/designer, Aitor Throup, presents an immersive multi-media event on the Biennial’s final weekend, offering visitors a chance to experience and explore the genre-defying multi-disciplinary work of this globally acclaimed artist/designer whose beginnings in Burnley inspired him towards an endless path of exploration and innovation.

This career-spanning retrospective is presented against the dramatic backdrop of The Empire, Burnley, featuring his iconic designs from the reimagined C.P. Company Goggle Jacket to his costumes for the Hunger Games and Ash sci-fi films as well as his latest collaboration with Umbro, that is set to rewrite the design rulebook not only in football, but the world of performance apparel.

A smaller exhibition of Aitor’s sculptures and
drawings will take place at OneTwoThree – a building which once housed the designer clothing store where the young Aitor was inspired by C.P. Company and Stone Island – two brands with whom he has since collaborated.

Tickets for this exhibition will be available on a strict pre-order basis through our website, more information to follow.
