“Visions of the Body 2005” provides a rereading of post- twentieth- century fashion from the viewpoint of the body and examines the overall state of the relationship between fashion and body, exhibiting together experimental works by designers and critical works by contemporary artists. It has been reconstructed, from an earlier exhibition, also called “Visions of the Body: Fashion or Invisible Corset” that was jointly organized by the National Museum of Modern Art (Kyoto) and KCI in 1999. The works have been made once again in the same concept but as a reflection of the new movements that have occurred in the past 5 years, and also includes the works of contemporary Korean artists.
Korsettets kulturhistorie fra renæssancen til det 20. århundrede
Illustrates a wide range of historical garments, underwear, shoes and fashion accessories dating from the eighteenth century to the present day.
With contributions from expert scholars and practitioners, this volume examines the rise of fashion in the museum through a range of international case studies.
Fashion Game Changers traces radical innovations in Western fashion design from the beginning of the 20th century to the present. Challenging the traditional silhouettes of their day, fashion designers such as Madeleine Vionnet and Cristóbal Balenciaga began to liberate the female body from the close-fitting hourglass forms which dominated European and American fashion, instead enveloping bodies in more autonomous garments which often took inspiration from beyond the West. As the century progressed, new generations of avant-garde designers from Rei Kawakubo to Martin Margiela further developed the ideas instigated by their predecessors to defy established notions of femininity in dress, creating space between body and garment. This way, a new relationship between body and dress emerged for the 21st century. With over 200 images and commentaries from an international range of leading fashion curators and historians, this beautifully illustrated book showcases some of the most revolutionary silhouettes and innovative designs of over 100 years of fashion.
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2013. Fashion-Wise offers an interdisciplinary and transcultural approach to the phenomenon of fashion, investigating its historical, socio-political and artistic aspects. The chapters collected in the volume discuss fashion in the contexts of personal and national identity, gender politics, phenomenology, psychoanalysis, history, consumer culture, ethics, education, performance studies, authenticity, disability studies, sport and celebrity culture. The authors included in this seven-part volume not only comment on the ways in which we have been ‘consuming’ fashion across centuries and cultures but also explore its relevance as a critical subject in cultural studies.
The Galerie im Taxispalais is showing the first comprehensive retrospective in Austria of work by Czech-Canadian artist Jana Sterbak (*1955 in Prague, lives and works in Montréal). Examination of the body and identity, materiality and the processual plays a key part in Sterbak's multifaceted oeuvre. In her sculptural, performative, photographic and film works she generates both direct and indirect references to the conflicts of the human subject in the context of contemporary society, testing its extension as well as limitations, indicating its vulnerability as well as resilience, and sounding out the transition from the intimate to the public sphere. At the same time, subversive and ironic-humorous echoes resonate in Sterbak's works, helping her to uncover social conventions, constraints and role clichés.
