Shaping Memories: Art and Fashion Beyond the Victory at MO.CA Brescia
The bicentennial festivities in Brescia for the Vittoria Alata (Winged Victory) are ongoing, featuring the exhibition 'Shaping Memories. Arte e Moda Oltre la Vittoria' at MO.CA – Centro per le Nuove Culture, which will be open until September 6. This exhibition, curated by Silvia Casagrande, Ilaria Bignotti, and Camilla Remondina, delves into contemporary art and fashion with a spotlight on emerging artists. It highlights the formal qualities of the chiton, focusing on craftsmanship and materiality. Notable pieces include Issey Miyake's sculptural designs, Paolo Scheggi's 'Intersuperfici,' Ann Iren Buan's wall installation, and John Galliano's ethereal dress alongside a photograph by Vanessa Beecroft. The exhibition concludes with works from young talents like Emma De Devitiis Lovrich and Fabio Lombardi, addressing themes of memory and identity.
