Das doppelte Kleid. Zu Kunst und Mode

The exhibition Das doppelte Kleid = The double dress aimed to analyse the dress in contemporary art and fashion by juxtaposing these two areas. Although continually influencing one another, these fields rarely seem to find real touching grounds. This exhibition presented a cross section of the then contemporary creative output in Austria and also reflected the variety of this issue/problem in the featured works of the 20 artists. Most featured artists were Vienna-based and none of the works on show were older than five years. Het doel van deze tentoonstelling Das doppelte Kleid = De dubbele jurk was om de jurk in de hedendaagse kunst en mode te analyseren door deze twee gebieden naast elkaar te plaatsen. Hoewel deze gebieden elkaar namelijk voortdurend beïnlvoeden, worden ze maar zelden met elkaar vergeleken. De tentoonstelling presenteerde een dwarsdoorsnede van de hedendaagse creatieve productie uit Oostenrijk en reflecteerde op de veelzijdigheid van dit gegeven/ probleem in het tentoongestelde werk van de 20 kunstenaars. De meeste kunstenaars waren in Wenen gevestigd en geen van de tentoongestelde werken was ouder dan vijf jaar.
