SHAPE exhibition
Fashion plays an increasingly important role in expressing who you are. Or who you want to be. Fashion is like a second skin. Each individual surrounds and covers the body, and everyone does so in their way: sometimes more functional, sometimes to make a statement. And to make it even more complex: nowadays, you don't only dress in real life, but you can also make a fashionable statement online. Especially with the application of AI, the possibilities seem inexhaustible. This fall, the TextielMuseum brings together conceptual, sculptural fashion and body-related art from around the world to surprise visitors and at the same time make them think about contemporary dealings with the body and concepts of identity.
Three themes as a common thread
SHAPE shows the play with identity concepts along three thematic lines: the vulnerable body, gender diversity and the hybrid body. Within these themes, a dialogue between works emerges each time, and topics such as ethnic diversity, the contrast between luxury and poverty, man/flora/fauna, man and technology, and beauty and gender ideals are addressed.
