STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN.- Moderna Museet presents Fashination, through January 23, 2005. Throughout the 20th century, fashion and art have repeatedly cross-fertilised one another. This exchange was at its most intense during three periods: 1920s surrealism, 1960s pop art, and now, since the early 1990s. It is this latter period that is the focus of Fashination. Not because we claim that fashion has become art, or that art is fashion, but simply to pose a few questions in the borderland between the two.
The exhibition is supported by the British Council and the Royal Netherlands Embassy.It features artists: Vanessa Beecroft, Bless, Hussein Chalayan, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Alicia Framis, Anne Valérie Hash, Martina Ivanow-Hoogland, Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin, Martin Margiela, Alexander McQueen, Steven Meisel, Benoît Méléard, Lars Nilsson, Terry Richardson, Yinka Shonibare, Jun Takahashi, and Viktor & Rolf.
