SKIN + BONES: PARALLEL PRACTICES IN FASHION AND ARCHITECTURE
http://www.moca.org/museum/futureexhibitionslist.php
11.19.06 - 03.05.07
This exhibition explores the common visual and intellectual principles
that underlie both fashion and architecture. Both disciplines start with
the human body and expand on ideas of space and movement, serving as
outward expressions of personal, political, and cultural identity.
Architects and fashion designers produce environments defined through
spatial awareness—the structures they create are based on volume,
function, proportion, and material. Presenting the work of international
fashion designers and architects, the exhibition examines themes such as
shelter, identity, tectonic strategies, creative process, and parallel
stylistic tendencies including deconstruction and minimalism. The
exhibition is curated by MOCA Curator of Architecture & Design Brooke
Hodge and is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue.
