ART & FASHION. BETWEEN SKIN AND CLOTHING
5 March - 7 August, 2011
Walter van Beirendonck · Louise Bourgeois · Hussein Chalayan · Christophe Coppens · Comme des Garçons · Salvador Dalì · Naomi Filmer · Robert Gober · Martin Margiela · Viktor & Rolf · Anna Nicole Ziesche · u.v.a.
Fashion and objects by Walter van Beirendonck, Louise Bourgeois, Hussein Chalayan, Christophe Coppens, Comme des Garçons, Salvador Dali, Naomi Filmer, Robert Gober, Martin Margiela, Francesco Vezzoli, Viktor und Rolf, Anna Nicole Zische and many others.
The exhibition explores the relation between art and fashion. Since the sixties art and fashion share the same avant garde feeling. From then on fashion no longer expresses power, money and social class. Instead it starts to express art and culture. Fashion and popular visual cultures – like pop art – became from the sixties on the new visual aesthetics of society. Fashion and Art became in the same way conceptual. During the eighties Japanese designers as Yohji Yamamoto and Comme des Garçons start to explore the boundaries of clothing and the meaning of fashion. Viktor & Rolf and Hussein Chalayan too started to present fashion shows in the new millenium that looked like art-installations.
The exhibition, which first has been shown at the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam, curated by José Teunissen, Judith Clark and Han Nefkens, will be reshaped for Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg by José Teunissen and Annelie Lütgens, curator of Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg.
