The Essential Art of African Textiles

Acesta este titlul unei expozitii speciale ce urmeaza sa aiba loc de pe 30 septembrie 2008 pana pe 22 martie 2009 la MetMuseum. Mai multe detalii aici. Daca ajunge cineva prin zona fac apel pentru o carte.

“This exhibition illustrates the stunningly diverse classical textile genres created by artists in West Africa through some of their earliest documented and finest works. Highlights of the Metropolitan’s own holdings will be presented along with some twenty works that entered The British Museum’s collection by the early twentieth century. Selected works will represent inventive variations on major themes of the influential classical genres. The exhibition will relate these genres to contemporary art forms by affording an appreciation of the cultural context and visual language of these traditions and exploring their synergy and resonance in works by seven living artists.

The publication The Essential Art of African Textiles: Design without End produced by The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Yale University Press will accompany this exhibition.”

Dali and fashion

O expozitie inspirata de opera lui Dali are loc in New York la MoMa. Cateva imagini care mi s-au parut extraordinar de frumoase, sunt prezentate intr-un slideshow in Harper’s Bazaar.
