JOSHUA MCGARVEY: THE KEY COLLECTION
by Matthew Swenson
·
Opening December 13, TELL Space will present The Key, a limited-edition handbag collection by Minneapolis-based interdisciplinary artist Joshua McGarvey. This marks McGarvey’s first venture into accessories, blending conceptual art with sustainable design. The Key is more than a collection—it's a meditation on art, materiality, and identity. Crafted from recycled green screen fabric, originally featured in McGarvey’s Posturing exhibition at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, each handbag challenges the conventional notions of waste and transformation.
In addition to the handbags, the collection will include exclusive limited-edition handbag charms and accessories, offering a new dimension to the concept of wearable art. With only ten handbags available, each piece in The Key speaks to McGarvey’s philosophy of reinvention—turning the overlooked into objects of beauty, functionality, and meaning.
