Order EIKON #78 now

Within the frame of the “MQ Summer of Fashion”, the EIKON SchAUfenster will be arranged with works by students of artistic photography and independent film under the direction of Anja Manfredi and Friedl Kubelka. The exhibition opening will take place in line of the presentation of the latest issue EIKON #78 on May 8.

Under the title “!!” the up-and-coming artists will present current works on “Art and Fashion”. The content of the conceptual works embraces essential reflections to philosophical thought-provoking impulses. Questions concerning identification and individualisation of and through clothing accumulate critical contemplations about social norms, constraints and liberties. By reference to cinematic and photographic contributions the presentation of the human being as the main actor of our consumer society is addressed as well as the self-reinforcing phenomenon fashion itself, fashion as an expression of personality as well as tool of self-staging.

When: May 8, 2012 at 7pm
Where: Electric Avenue, quartier21/MQ, Museumsplatz 1, 1070 Vienna
Duration of the exhibition: May 9 – August 29, 2012
