Kai-Oi Jay Yung urges us to act on climate change through using odd socks as a weapon for change! Yung's exhibition at FACT, part of ‘Climate for Change' between 6-12 April will see her week-long series of event activities. Through video, events and one-on-one engagement, Sock Exchange invites visitors on an unsuspecting mend and marvel crusade. Jay will be darning people's odd socks as well as inviting them to create their own sock objects d'art, chances to learn how to knit with experts from local fanatics as well a chance to find love in Lonely Socks; Speed Socking event.Yung will transform the visitor's humble holey and odd socks into an exquisite sock d'art, prompting other uses for the finished sock- punters will never be able to trash their socks again. Visitors can bring their holey and odd socks to the gallery on the run up to the show from the 13th March, and in residence from 6th-12th April, Yung will personally darn and lovingly embellish every sock with a signature doodle unique to each one. Visitors can delve into the multi-arrayed sock trove and quash odd sock misery by finding the ultimate sock that they may adorn with the array of materials to hand. The project closes with Lonely Socks, bringing together singles in a one-night speed-socking event.
