Автор:BLESS (Desiree Heiss and Ines Kang) Год: 2010 Издание: [не указанo] Страниц: 416 ISBN: 1934105120 Heralded as one of fashion's most innovative designers, the Paris and Berlin-based duo BLESS (Desiree Heiss and Ines Kaag) refuse to capitalize on any one milieu, and instead explore the differences between and the mixing of the systems of art, fashion, and design. This book brings together visual and written documentation of BLESS's last twelve collections (N 30-N 41), continually prompting and challenging the question of where a product begins and ends. Their latest project, N 41 Retroperspective Home, culminates in an exhibition / intervention of the same title at the Kunsthaus. ''The hybrid nature of [BLESS's] output cries out to be tackled by an institution like ours,'' state the curators of the exhibition, ''but at the same time makes it very difficult to do so... This is precisely where the challenge of our exhibition lies, seeing art as design and fashion as architecture.''
