About the author
How thin is the line between art and fashion? Or has that line completely faded away over the years? To discuss this, photography museum Foam, in collaboration with Club Trouw/De Verdieping, is hosting a talk show with some interesting guests on September 1st. To find out how these worlds mingle and divide, be there and be prepared, because the audience will be involved!
The question on hand is a mind-boggling one, which has grabbed the attention of many artists in both the fashion and art worlds. In my own perception, fashion and art are inseparable nowadays, and need one another at all times. Yet there are still only a few artists that have successfully mastered bringing both disciplines together. One of these are the duo Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, currently being exhibited in Foam and the main inspiration for this event.
The speakers, such as art director Michel Mallard, artist Amie Dicke and photographer Jason Evans will gather around the table to lead an interactive discussion with one another and with the audience. If you have any interesting standpoints or questions, you can post them on the Facebook page of Foam.
In addition to the talk show I am also very excited to take a look at the sideshow in De Verdieping (Club Trouw’s basement) showing work of young photographers and designers whom are operating at the interface of fashion and art and are hoping to become very successful in both disciplines. And of course, to blow off some steam after a heated discussion with the live music by B.R.U.C.E..

Night club and art meet at the Contemporary Art Club
As some of you might know, I love dancing to (electronic) music and I love looking and talking about art. Trouw/De Verieping and the Stedelijk Museum combined these activities by creating four interactive events. These events dare you to look at contemporary art in a new way. Trouw will be filled with art, multimedia-installations, lectures, interviews, and music that is Trouw-worthy. The first Contemporary Art Club is up next Thursday. (..more)
Discover a world of art, design, and fashion at winterSALON/
There’s a thin line between art, design, and fashion. Take the obvious example of Alexander McQueen, I honestly don’t know whether to look at his work as fashion or art. SALON/ is an organization and platform that inspires discussion and dialogue between this thin line. SALON/ does this by creating various events through Amsterdam where you can experience the creative works of big and small artists and designers. By taking these out of their usual contexts SALON/ produces a dynamic, interactive and social experience with an intimate vibe. (..more)
