THE GIJS+EMMY SPECTACLE
22 February - 24 August 2014

A survey of the designs created by Gijs Bakker (1942) and Emmy van Leersum (1930 – 1984) from 1967 to 1972.

In the late 1960s, these designers revolutionized the design world with their avant-garde jewelry and clothing. Multidisciplinary installations present Gijs+Emmy’s innovative jewelry and clothing designs for the modern woman (and man). The installations are inspired by the legendary fashion show at the Stedelijk Museum in 1967, the happening at gallery Art & Project in 1970, and the dance production Mutations.
