Open Fields: Art and Fashion Exhibition in a Paris Apartment
In a historic apartment at 4 Rue Saint Florentin in Paris, the exhibition 'Open Fields' curated by Bianca D'Ippolito in collaboration with Clavé fine art explores landscape through art and fashion, running until November 2, 2024. The show features works by Claude de Soria (Paris, 1926–2015), whose cement sculptures evoke ancient natural landscapes, clothing by the brand La Collection (co-founded by Florence Cools and Artur Tadevosian) that treat fabric as expressions of personal and cultural geography, and paintings by François Réau. Curator D'Ippolito states that together these artists embody exploration and curiosity, freeing materials and media from their limits to expand viewers' understanding of physical or mental landscapes as 'open fields'—suspended moments in time and space where ideas and inspirations meet.
