La Galerie de Multiples
Art, fashion and design. The exhibition features a selection of pieces by fashion designers that spring from a "genuine artistic process".
From 24 July to 22 September 2012, the Galerie des Galeries,
the cultural venue of Galeries Lafayette Haussmann, will be playing
a new role. Redubbed the Pop-up Store, it will be offering work from
the three disciplines that lie at the core of the Galerie des Galeries’s
mission: art, fashion and design.
Throughout the delightful presentation created by the designer
Julie Pfligersdorffer*, each of these themes resonates forcefully in
the display and marketing of novel fashion accessories, limited-edition
artworks and designer objects.
The Pop-up Store by the Galerie des Galeries will highlight an original
selection of pieces by fashion designers that spring from a genuine
artistic process. The participants include the collective Andrea Crews,
which works midway between art and fashion, bringing together designers,
video artists, musicians and performers.
There is the delightfully quirky jewelry of Ligia Dias which shows
influences from multidisciplinary art worlds like architecture, the graphic
arts, and design. Bernard Chauveau Éditeur will be showcasing its
latest collaborations with David Dubois and Christian Ghion.
And finally, through its presentation of limited-edition works, la Galerie
de Multiples carries on its intention to help make contemporary art
accessible to a broad audience.
The Pop-up Store by the Galerie des Galeries will also be home to
a bookshop featuring a selection of works and magazines with various
links to the venue’s program.
*The French designer Julie Pfligersdorffer has created products
for Industreal and Ligne Roset, for which she took first prize in the 2010
Cinna design competition. She is represented by Galerie Gosserez
and is preparing a show for the gallery that will open sometime in
2013. Since 2009 she has also assisted the designer Pierre Charpin,
especially in his most recent projects in exhibition design.
