“Erote” Exhibition

The Hollows

poster for “Erote” Exhibition

This event has ended.

A speculative survey of body and its relation to garments, from the cave to the web.

The upcoming exhibition at The Hollows Townhouse on Bedford Ave in Williamsburg will take place throughout the building, spanning 10 galleries on 4 floors and outdoors space, The Hollows Eastyard, with a late night opening reception one day before New York Fashion Week.

Erote approaches the concept of garment as a means to frame the body, assumed as a catalyst for achieving affects, foremost in the Self. The show features design ideas from ancient times to very recent innovations, flattens Time, and treats each designer or the stylist as an individual who is in search for a pleasant functionality. Pieces on view are accessories that preserve one’s body and help the wearer communicate with the world by getting them in it.

Ruby Chishti manages to feminize the little gold sequin dress as Vixole x Yuxi Cao captures Pokémon at the feet. Stephanie Liu grasps the need of the nomad right from the core: hydrate and run. Mark Newport’s hand knit sweaters combine the heroic and the protective, one in the form of masculine and vulnerable Donatello. Nitcha Fame Tothong’s Text-neck is a brilliant new jewelry device that will save our natural chic postures for the years to come. The best bag possible, by Maison Martin Margiela from 2013, will be on view along with two 2016 pieces in gold and silver by Marc Jacobs and Proenza Schouler. Lastly, Matthew Keff is taking over the outdoor runway at The Hollows Eastyard with his live animations, paired with Kiichiro Adachi’s light whirlpool. And a new telephone booth stands on the porch on Bedford Avenue.
