The Royal Academy of Arts presents an exhibition dedicated to the relationship between fashion and art and how these disciplines influence each other, Creado really unexpected results that have been done and will do the story. Specifically entitled, "Aware: Art Fashion Identity" will be open until January 30, 2011, and I think it really should not miss.The thing that strikes me most of all is surely the fact that they have been involved in a number of artists and designers in the fashion world, to make a visual reflection on how to dress, clothing can become a mechanism and especially an means to communicate and reveal elements of our identity and personality.
The exhibition contains the work of 30 such persons in a perfect mix between art and fashion, I will mention only some of these big names such as Marina Abramovic, Acconci Studio, Alicia Framis, La Maison Martin Margiela, Alexander McQueen, Yoko Ono, Katerina Seda , Cindy Sherman and many others.
The exhibition occupies the main galleries of the Royal Academy and is divided into four sections with a specific privilege. The first is entitled Storytelling and recognizes and tries to represent what the role of clothing in the representation of personal and cultural history of peoples.
In this section, such as a coat is exposed by the artist Grayson Perry, created by many luxurious fabrics in a patchwork style, the 2004 complaint and that is the condition, the stuatus of artists in the contemporary world. The second is called Buildings and here unfolds the concept of used clothing as a form of protection, as a real shelter, clearly referring to the nomadic culture and modern life that always requires many elements to bring with him constantly.
Mella Jaarsma In fact, in his work, makes a comparison between the clothes and architectural constructions. The third part is called Confronting Belonging and examines the social and political confrontation, which also derives from the habits and customs of different peoples, which automatically adapt fashion to the restrictions or policies of their own religion.
Sharif Waked, Palestinian artist, presents an installation called Chic Point associations that complaint arising from the combination of two worlds so far apart as that of fashion and that of schemes offering semi-imprisonment. Last piece of the exhibition deals with the issue of performance, now increasingly common element in the glossy world of fashion, just to demonstrate how a fashion event can become an almost artistic.
These movies such as Yoko Ono in 1965 where the artist invites the audience to cut her clothes into strips, alluding to the total destruction of the barriers imposed by stereotypes in the world. So here is an overview of what you can see, if you were in London, and surely what strikes me is how fashion will be able once again to adapt, reinvent and transform itself into art, and pieces of creativity over lines, but which contribute not only to add charm to our body, but also become a real cultural heritage that tramanderà due to their immortality.
