This summer, Somerset House will host Maison Martin Margiela ’20’ The Exhibition; a major exhibition celebrating 20 years of one of contemporary fashion’s most influential and enigmatic designers. Following the success of recent exhibitions ‘SHOWstudio’ and ‘Skin and Bones’ this show will explore the designer’s artistic and conceptual approach to fashion.

“This multi-layered exhibition captures Margiela’s unique aesthetic and vision spanning the past 20 years, by incorporating installations, photography, video and film. It will provide an opportunity to learn more about the brand and its philosophy through a visual examination of themes that underpin the essence of the fashion house since its creation – from its deconstructivist, subversive design aesthetic and avant-garde couture to its understated branding, unusual boutique interiors and ‘trompe-l’oeil’ or optical illusion and its couture atelier white coats. Various iconic pieces from both the women and menswear collections will be on display, such as the highly replicated ‘Tabi’ boots, as well as specially recreated garments for the exhibition. “

Starting November 22nd, MOMA will be showing an extensive retrospective of the work of artist, writer, producer Tim Burton.

“Following the current of his visual imagination from early childhood drawings through his mature work, the exhibition presents artwork generated during the conception and production of his films, and highlights a number of unrealized projects and never-before-seen pieces, as well as student art, his earliest non-professional films, and examples of his work as a storyteller and graphic artist for non-film projects. The opposing themes of adolescence and adulthood, and the elements of sentiment, cynicism, and humor inform his work in a variety of mediums—drawings, paintings, storyboards, digital and moving-image formats, puppets and maquettes, props, costumes, ephemera, sketchbooks, and cartoons. Taking inspiration from sources in pop culture, Burton has reinvented Hollywood genre filmmaking as a spiritual experience, influencing a generation of young artists working in film, video, and graphics.”

The exhibition is on until April 26, 2010, so make sure to pass by!

As mentioned before we visited this week the new Outerspace show in Barcelona. If there is one thing that nobody should miss at the show, than it is the Sneaker Exhibition put together by some of the most prominent collectors from Europe. Henrik “Artoo” Kürschner, Marco Colombo, Julia “Sneakerqueen” Schoirer, Lars “Kelle” Vetter, Chris “Langer” Sachse, as well as Eddie and David Fauks and Tim “Tony” Seligmann brought together the rarest of the rarest in sneaker history. Usually we would start naming some of the more impressive sneakers showcased, but there were so many that it would not do justice. The collectors presented sneakers going back to the 70’s up until present, mostly of course from Nike and adidas. The line-up of Jordan and pre-Jordan sneakers blew us away as well. One collector estimated the overall resell value of the collection at around 800′000 Euros, just to give you an idea of what was standing in these halls.

After the jump many more images of the Sneaker Expo at Outerspace Tradeshow Barcelona.

Barry McGee, Ed Templeton and Raymond Pettibon are pioneers and icons of the contemporary urban art movement. Their work can be found in the collections of major museums and has been shown at large exhibitions and biennales worldwide, but all three have repeatedly emphasised their roots in youth subculture – in the worlds of skateboarding, graffiti, punk and hip-hop. They are joined by an overriding interest in portraying the underdogs, outcasts and anti-heroes of society. Curator Aaron Rose, whose urban art documentary Beautiful Losers is currently touring the world to enthusiastic reviews, is showing these three sought-after artists in the intimate atmosphere of a Berlin gallery. The direct proximity of their works not only allows us to draw interesting conclusions about each artist’s style, but also underscores their unique similarities.

OPENING:     9TH APRIL 2009, 7 PM
