REI KAWAKUBO/ COMME DES GARCONS: ART OF THE IN-BETWEEN
2. Design/Not Design- "The Future of Silhouette"
This exhibition examines nine expressions of "in-between" in Kawakubo's collection: Absence/Presence; Design/Not Design; Fashion/Antifashion; Model/Multiple; High/Low; Then/Now; Self/Other; Object/Subject; and Clothes/Not Clothes. "It reveals how her designs occupy the spaces between these dualities--which have come to be seen as natural rather than social or cultural-- and how they resolve and dissolve binary logic"(The Met).
The whole concept and structural design in the way that the pieces where position and the color, created this whole idea of "emptiness" and artificiality and it makes think further than the design in front of you. I recommend for you to see this exhibition, it will be open until September 4 at the Met Museum.
9.4 War/Peace
9.7 Order/Chaos
2. Design/Not Design
9. 3 Beautiful/Grotesque
The pictures above are my favorite pieces of the exhibition. Every year the Met shows a fashion exhibition on different concepts, last years exhibition was on Fashion in the Age of Technology ( I did a post on this exhibition on my other blog). This is a must see exhibition, so if you are ever planning to travel to New York-- it usually runs from May to September.
Thank you for stopping by and have a blessed day!
