VETTOR PISANI AT MADRE MUSEUM

The exhibition is the first and most comprehensive retrospective, by the breadth and completeness of the exhibits, ever devoted to one of the most important contemporary Italian artists, Vettor Pisani (Bari, 1934 – Rome, 2011). The artist gradually emerged as one of the most important representatives and exponents of artistic research in Italy from the 70s on, as well as one of the most personal and visionary authors on the art scene of his generation.
Vettor Pisani liked to relate that he was born in Ischia, the son of a naval officer and a strip-tease dancer. With this artfully rewritten biography, Pisani would present himself not only as one of the witnesses to and the most important exponents of artistic research over the last five decades, but one of the most personal, provocative and visionary authors of his generation, a true pioneer who combined conceptual investigations with irony, masking with the search for truth, history with chronicle, the absolute and the sacred with the profane and the mundane, the art of the past with the lacerations of the present.

3D-PRINTS SHOES BY SEBASTIAN ERRAZURIZ

Artist and designer Sebastian Errazuriz used twelve of his former flames as the inspiration for these 3D-printed shoes.
In 12 Shoes for 12 Lovers, each of the high-heeled shoes is designed for a woman Errazuriz previously had a relationship with, some of which lasted years and others just one night.
The shape of each shoe represents how he remembers its counterpart: either by a nickname, a personal attribute or sexual behavior.
All of the shoes were digitally modelled then 3D-printed from PET plastic using a Makerbot Replicator 2. The collection is on show at a pop-up shop for Brazilian shoe brand Melissain Miami until 6 January.

LOVEBAG

 The "boundary" of past and future exists as a heightened sense of the contemporaneity of the present and makes for a special attraction in fashion. However often happens that fashion is inspired by past models, when it can draw on these models for a renewal that often it's just illusory, but that is enough to justify the characteristic instability. - Georg Simmel

Quello che distingue la moda dalla maggior parte delle istituzioni e pratiche sociali che disdegnano il presente e si volgono al futuro o al passato, è che la moda è sempre volta al presente.
Accade spesso però che la moda si rifaccia a modelli del passato, quando da questi modelli può trarre lo spunto per un rinnovamento che spesso non è che apparente, ma che basta a giustificarne la caratteristica instabilità. - Georg Simmel

SIXTIES BAG

Less practical of current bags, where we can put everything, during the sixties bags were smaller, often stiff, and with short handles to hold just a lipstick, face powder, a little mirror and a kleenex pocket.
Meno pratiche delle borse attuali dove riusciamo a farci entrare una casa, negli anni '60 le borse erano più piccole, spesso rigide e con i manici corti, per contenere giusto un rossetto, la cipria, uno specchietto e un pacchetto di kleenex!
