Y-3 FALL/WINTER 2019 COLLECTION

Posted on 2019-06-18

Taking inspiration from one another’s design aesthetics, the FW19 collection reinterprets the design codes of both adidas and Yohji Yamamoto, and for the first time draws on archival pieces from both collaborators from the 70s, ‘80’s and ‘90s.

Drawing on design cues from iconic styles of both brands, the collection features a range of apparel including dresses, shirts, jackets and trousers, as well as a selection of accessories. The first drop also reveals glimpses of the season’s footwear: streamlined, minimalistic takes on classic shapes with elements borrowed from heritage archive styles, such as the Y-3 Yuben Low, the Y-3 Yuben Mid, and the now-iconic Y-3 Kaiwa.

Available at flagship stores, Y-3.com and select retailers worldwide from June 20th.

CONSTANTIN BRÂNCUŞI – BRÂNCUŞI’S FLOWERS

Posted on 2019-06-17

Brâncuşi’s Flowers offers an unprecedented opportunity to view eight of the sixteen known images on the subject matter. Each photographed and printed by the artist in his darkroom during the 1920s and 1930s, these still lifes, or “nature’s readymades”, served dual purposes for the artist. Firstly, they were created as gifts for friends and lovers serving as lasting objects of his affection, in contrast with the flowers themselves destined for decay. Secondly, they were a further extension of Brancusi’s explorations into photography, fixing flora and fauna at the pinnacle of their sculptural beauty. Brâncuşi’ Flowers highlights a chapter within his concise oeuvre that is singular in its focus on a subject matter outside of the artist’s own making.

JEAN-MARIE APPRIOU

Posted on 2019-06-17

Appriou’s sculptures appear archaic, evoking mythology and forms of primitive art, while crafted from the very contemporary material of aluminum.

On this occasion, four cast aluminum Cypress trees will be placed on Galerie Eva Presenhuber’s roof terrace, creating an open-air installation overlooking the city of Zurich. Appriou’s work often refers to the Symbolists, and here he is referencing Arnold Böcklin’s Isle of the Dead. Cypress trees carry the weight of the space between life and death, earth and sky. Their silhouettes are as gracious as they are haunting.

Opposite – Installation view

CHRISTIAN FOGAROLLI – IL CORPO D’ARIA

Posted on 2019-06-17

Christian Fogarolli’s project Il corpo d’aria is based on these premises and presents some works that investigate the relationship between instrument, body and soul in the spaces of the Alberta Pane Gallery in Paris.
The works attempt to explore some contemporary issues and problems in relation to the body and the mind, which are elements scientifically considered as a simple organic mass that can be modified, cured and redeemed. The research represents an evolutionary phase and is coherent with the artist’s entire path based on a contemporary vision of illness, deviance and treatment approaches.
The project on display leads to a critical view of the body, seen as a simple organism and often reduced to the categories of today’s natural sciences, such as biochemistry and genetics. The installations and the photographic works, which have been specially created, have been conceived starting from these thoughts and in reference to how science, by definition, denies itself as a consequence of the birth of new premises. This implies a constant loss of meanings to the detriment of causes towards a utopian truth.
