GET IN THE HAZE
In Vienna I went to the exhibition “Get in the haze” at MuseumsQuartier Wien, that approaches the theme of fashion meeting and art.
I really appreciated the description and specially the optimistic conclusion by Curator Lliure Briz.
“Recognizing that form carries meaning, many designers have chosen to investigate the messages they create. This shift of parameters has enabled designers to think in terms of a concept. Partly, this is related to self-expression, but more importantly it concerns taking responsibility for the broader ramifications of design. The works of the best of today’s designers display self-awareness and, at times, political intent.
Above all, designers have developed a keen sense of criticism, and work within what is best described as a culture of ideas. And artists today demonstrate a greater interest in other disciplines as well, such as design per se and how it has penetrated our popular and visual culture.
This exhibition reflects the encounter between art, performance, fashion, architecture, and music, conceiving a world of boundless freedom where art and design are pushed beyond any barriers, leaving space for a more organic, visionary mode of expression.
Getting in the haze brings a confusion of impressions, making us live a misty and holistic experience of this delightful collision. The selected creators present the best known, emerging, award-winning, and most widely publicized international creative talent, representing outstanding examples of individuality, cutting-edge vision, and fearless enthusiasm.”
The exhibition is closing in these days but on MQ’s website you can get some other pictures and informations about the artits and designers that took part in it, and their work.
