Schuhstories

Iphofen (D) > bis 8.11.2020

Schon die Gebrüder Grimm sammelten Erzählungen und Geschichten über Schuhe. Von Aschenputtel über den Gestiefelten Kater bis hin zu den Zertanzten Schuhen zeigt sich eine ganze Bandbreite an Schuh-Märchen. Die Bedeutungen, die den jeweiligen Schuhen zugesprochen werden, sind vielseitig. Ebenso verhält es sich mit den Schuhen in unserem Alltag. Die Sonderausstellung „Schuh-Stories“ erzählt eben diese. Schuhe stehen hier nicht bloß allein im Mittelpunkt. Besonderheit erlangen sie durch ihre Geschichte. Unterwegs im Knauf-Museum können so Schuhgeschichten aus unterschiedlichen Zeiten und von verschiedenen Orten entdeckt werden. Was hat es bspw. mit den vielen Nägeln an römischen Sandalen auf sich? Wie sehen eigentlich die Schuhe von Boris Becker aus, die er bei einem seiner Siege in Wimbledon trug? Und welches Geheimnis verbirgt sich hinter japanischen Holzsandalen, auch Geta genannt? Neben den individuellen Geschichten gibt die Ausstellung auch einen Einblick in die gesellschaftliche Bedeutung von Schuhen. So sind nicht nur Kleider ein Zeichen von Ansehen und Macht. Auch Schuhe sind Kennzeichen für bestimmte Gruppen, Vereine, Tätigkeiten oder gar politische Positionen. Sich selbige leisten zu können, war und ist keine Selbstverständlichkeit. Dies wird in der Sonderausstellung nicht zuletzt auch durch einen Blick auf die Schuhherstellung verdeutlicht.

The Cloth that Changed the World: India's Painted and Printed Cottons

Toronto (CA) > 04.04. - 27.09.2020

Made with novel cotton, vivid colors and exuberant design, the painted and printed cottons of India changed human history; they revolutionized art, fashion and science wherever they went around the globe. Featuring pieces from the Museum’s world-renowned collection, this ROM original exhibition explores how over thousands of years India’s artisans have created, perfected and innovated these printed and painted multicolored cotton fabrics to fashion the body, honor divinities, and beautify palaces and homes. Presenting the fascinating stories behind the people who made, commissioned, shipped, sold and ultimately used these pieces, The Cloth that Changed the World considers India’s textile innovations and their influences on art, trade and industry around the world in places as far as Cairo, Japan, Sumatra, London, and Montreal. They were the luxury fabric of their day, coveted by all, and one of the great inventions that drew foreigners to India’s shores hungry for more. Discover how through trade-routes, encounters, and exchange, these cloths connected cultures and, quite literally, changed the world.

Alaïa - Adrian: Masters of Cut

Atlanta (USA) > bis 13.09.2020

Masters of Cut brings together sleek designs and impeccably tailored looks by beloved designers Azzedine Alaïa (1935–2017) and Gilbert Adrian (1903–1959). Garments on view display the intricate detailing of Adrian’s suits — the mitered stripes, clever seaming, and unexpected appliqués — in dialogue with Alaïa’s body-celebrating designs. Pairing their work, the exhibition reveals the designers’ intertwined and enduring legacies. Alaïa was a consummate collector of Adrian’s work, reveling in the designer’s fit, form, and proportion. The Adrian garments on view are held by the Association Azzedine Alaïa, Paris, and presented in partnership with SCAD FASH. In addition to tailored looks from both designers, Masters of Cut features a selection of Alaïa’s career-defining gowns worn by fashion icons like Grace Jones. SCAD FASH is honored to host the designer’s first posthumous U.S. museum exhibition, nearly 20 years after his last stateside show.

Studio 54: Night Magic

New York (USA) > 13.03. - 05.07.2020

Studio 54: Night Magic traces the radiant history, social politics, and trailblazing aesthetics of the most iconic nightclub of all time. Behind the velvet rope, partygoers of all backgrounds and lifestyles could come together for nights of music, dazzling lights, and the popular song and dance “The Hustle.” Following the Vietnam War, and amid the nationwide Civil Rights Movement and fights for LGBTQ+ and women’s rights, a nearly bankrupted New York City hungered for social and creative transformation as well as a sense of joyous celebration after years of protest and upheaval. Low rents attracted a diversity of artists, fashion designers, writers, and musicians, catalyzing the invention of new art forms, including musical genres such as punk, hip-hop, and disco. In a rare societal shift, people from different sexual, sociopolitical, and financial strata intermingled freely in the after-hours nightclubs of New York City. No place exemplified this more than Studio 54. Organized chronologically, Studio 54: Night Magic uses photography, fashion, drawing, and film, as well as never-before-exhibited costume illustrations, set proposals, and designs, to place the nightclub within the wider history of New York, from Prohibition through the 1970s. Blueprints and architecture models illustrate the club’s innovative development and creation, while documentation of extravagant theme parties traces its thirty-three month run. The exhibition continues through the years after the nightclub’s closure, showing the ongoing influence of Studio 54 aesthetics.

This show explores the capabilities of spiders and how they have inspired and enchanted a host of engineers, artists, and designers looking to reimagine the tensile strength, luster, and beauty of spiderwebs.

Further loans include contemporary menswear by the international skate and streetwear company Supreme that gives new life and meaning to the acrobatic fashions of Spiderman.

Showpieces | Table damask from Art Nouveau to the Amsterdam School

Tilburg (NL) > 08.02.2020 - 17.01.2021

Table damask designs were regarded as the pinnacle of Dutch textile design in the first half of the 20th century. Several damask weaving mills produced ‘artistic’ damask, for which they commissioned contemporary designers. In an effort to improve the quality of industrial products, linen manufacturers deliberately sought out decorative artists. Art Nouveau was a popular style for the new patterns.
