39th Belgrade Fashion Week

 Ivana Pilja

Few weeks ago I attended the 39th edition of Belgrade Fashion Week, which was in fact my very first visit to this dear city of mine where I spent 3 three years of my childhood.
Although familiar with Belgrade designers for many years now, it was a very pleasant experience to experience Belgrade within the context of the fashion week. Each edition BFW puts focus on another country, making Netherlands the guest country this time. For the occasion Dutch emerging brand FUTURA has been invited to show their AW2016 collection inspired by ankersmit textiles.
One of the main awards is the B Future contest for young designers. Professional jury panel awarded three young designers Katarina Đorđević, Nevena Ivanović and Tatjana Ostojić, providing them a place in the schedule of the next edition where they will show their new collections.
The BFW opening show was a special project by BFW Design Collective and Hemofarm Foundation dedicated to the donation for the heart transplantations. Around twenty designers where invited to design red based outfits for the benefit of the foundation. Favourite looks where from designers Marko Mitanovski, Vesna Kracanovic, Aleksandra Lalić and Sonja Jocic. Remarkable fact is that the program is mostly filled with young talents, such as the event called ‘Fashion Vignettes’ where various young designers like Marko Glavinić where given the stage to present their collections in style of an installation.

Belgrade’s one of the most successful talents, Ivana Pilja shared the stage with the Dutch LABEL FUTURA, treating the crowd with progressive designs.  In the context of Netherlands as guest countr the project Exploring Inspirations, initiated by KC Grad was exhibited during the fashion week. For this project Dutch and Serbian designers collaborated with traditional Serbian craftsman. The result is a stunning example how local heritage can catch up with the time and points out exactly where potential lies within the Serbian fashion scene.

Oliver Laric - Photoplastik
April 22 – June 19, 2016

Oliver Laric is a great admirer of glyptotheques and plaster-cast collections, and so his exhibition Photoplastik transforms the Secession’s main hall into a sculpture display. The show assembles his adaptations of works ranging from antiquity to the present, combining them with objects drawn from popular culture and the natural sciences. Designed specifically for the Secession, it consists entirely of new pieces, most of them 3D prints, a technology that has been central to the artist’s work in the past few years. The selection of sculptures may seem baffling at first, but when it is read along lines indicated by the key concepts of form, technology, politics, and law, it unfolds as a narrative about art and technology.

With seeming ease, Laric combines and transfers qualities from the digital domain such as convenient reproducibility, endless variability, and rapid dissemination into physical space. His sculptures are based on scans of works of art and other objects — for this exhibition, he worked in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, the Albertina, the University of Vienna’s Institut für Klassische Archäologie, and various public locations—before subjecting the resulting data to a time-consuming 3D modeling process and preparing them for “printing.”

Les Deux Garçons - Museum aan het Vrijthof in Maastricht

The Dutch artist duo ‘Les Deux Garçons’
are presenting their
their first retrospective ‘PURE’ in Maastricht at Museum aan het Vrijthof in Maastricht.

Sculptures of taxidermy, bronze statues and free-style assemblage show the diversity of artists.
Atelier Les Deux Garçons was founded by the artists Roel Moonen (1966) and Michel Vanderheijden van Tinteren (1965). Originally from Limburg the artists met in Maastricht and have been working together since 2000. The duo enjoys international fame with their sculptures of taxidermy, in which mounted animals receive human features.
With their distinctive and intriguing imagery Les Deux Garçons create absurdistic, sometimes moving or humorous objects, made with materials found at the taxidermist, at auctions or at antique dealers.

Reflection
Les Deux Garçons present their deer, lambs, piglets, dogs and other animals often as Siamese twins with accessories such as colourful porcelain, toys and all kinds of useful objects. These symbolize fear, fate and mortality. In their creations, the artists shun no themes, whether it be instinctive, artistic urge or in the prompting by current affairs.

The exhibition is open until 6th June 2016.
