Where is the line
between contemporary art and fashion? The group exhibition No
Boundaries, which was taken part of the Fashion Week DOWNTOWN, examined
this question. The exhibition consisted of clothing, drawings, spatial
objects, photos and jewellery, all poised on the edge of fashion and art
..
Artist who
took part of the exhibition were:
Leoniek Bontje, Hartog & Henneman, Petra Lunenburg, Selma van der Meijs,
Pheen and Mara Skujeniece
Within
the work
of Jiska
Hartog & Michiel Henneman stands defining
the jewel centrally.
Hartog & Henneman questions include: what makes something a jewel? And
what is the function of the jewel in the current culture? The duo
artists are constantly in search of the boundary between art and
jewellery. In which they try to reach beyond the isolated discipline of
visual arts and the goldsmith industry
Specially for No
Boundaries they investigated the interesting relationship between
still-life and lifestyle. Here they refer to the composition within a
still life with expensive products like rare and expensive food and
flowers as a symbol of prestige and wealth, in which the comparison to
“life-style” in which we compose an image of ourselves the way we want
to be seen.
