BOTTEGA VENETA: MEN

Posted on 2020-07-28

This short film is a lively celebration of those creatives who inspire Daniel and who have contributed to informing his vision for BV menswear.

“What makes a man today?” What is the meaning of masculinity today?

Daniel Lee, together with photographer and filmmaker Tyrone Lebon capture a multidisciplinary and eclectic cast of personalities answering these fundamental questions leading them to reflect on their own identity, masculinity and their relationship with clothing.

The ritual of getting dressed and undressed is at once an act of intimacy and performance. With this short film, Daniel Lee opens a new space for reflection.

This film is a celebration of uniqueness and individuality, storied through a cast of unique personalities, which includes Barry Keoghan, Dick Jewell, George Rouy, Michael Clark, Obongjayar, Octavian, Roberto Bolle, Roman, Trickyand Neneh Cherry.

BORDERLINE – PAUL D’HAESE

Posted on 2020-07-27

The northern French coast is marked by history: the Atlantic Wall, the liberation, the refugee camps. With this in mind, the artist investigates, in a non-documentary way, all kinds of interactions: the one between land and sea, solid and turbid, intern and extern, locked up and liberated. Paul D’Haese links these themes to the search for identity, with as an extreme case, the “borderline” personality disorder.
Three years ago, he conceived, for the first time, the idea of exploring this boundary line. Since then, he has been following a route, about 350 km as the crow flies, from Bray-Dunes to Le Havre. He crosses about fifty villages and towns, with his camera, first by car, then by bicycle, and finally on foot.
Borderline follows Winks of Tangency, a project where he only “touched” the surface, the screen, the wall, the border. This time, he perforates the borderline by photographing it.

ERIK MADIGAN HECK – THE GARDEN

Posted on 2020-07-27

The Garden is an ongoing body of work depicting Heck’s wife and two young sons in a variety of richly colourful surroundings. The photographs draw upon Catholic iconography and other mythic pictorial traditions to develop a color-based narrative evocative of spiritual archetypes and the processes of dissolution and rebirth.

The series moves through a singular world, a fairytale in which figures and settings become tableaux for hyper-concentrated tonal arrangements. Images are composited and oversaturated with color to create painterly and surreal compositions in which the familiar and fantastic are merged. Completing its aesthetic fantasy through lavish clothes, gestures of dreamlike poignancy, and an Edenic environment, The Garden expresses the supramundane innocence and spontaneity that art makes possible—a life lived in the direct, immediate experience of beauty.

LEO AMINO – THE VISIBLE AND THE INVISIBLE

Posted on 2020-07-27

Taking its title from phenomenologist Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s eponymous 1964 book, The Visible and the Invisible will feature work from throughout Amino’s career, including sculptures made in synthetic resin, acrylic, wood, and wire. The works illustrate how Amino investigated transparency and the dynamics of perception, articulating space, light, and color through geometric and biomorphic sculptural form. The selection of “refractionals” on view speak to Amino’s unorthodox “minimalism,” which he understood not in terms of aesthetic polemic but in relation to his readings in phenomenology. As part of a practice of “phenomenological reduction,” a stripping away of received scientific and psychological assumptions, Amino deployed transparency in order to pose the question of the interdependency of subject and object through an optics of encounter, interpenetration, and absorption.

Opposite – Refractional #73, 1971

Exhibition runs through to July 31st, 2020
