Exhibition. The topic set by the title of the exhibition is the correspondence between tailoring and art, with no particular line of thought it is more of the collection of anything thinkable that exist on the intersection of the two creative fields.
Personal Opinion. For a space of two medium sized rooms the contents of the show may appear a bit crowded and some of the bigger pieces deserve more space. All of the works relate to the stated topic, by if in some cases the connection is obvious, in others it feels as if the curator simply wanted to have everything possible on display.
The exhibition does not suggest any type of linear narrative, both rooms may be explored in a series of circular walks, the spectator can turn from one work to another and go back around if he wishes so.
In terms of the theme it is hard to set the problem for the show without the help of curators, the question of what do we call the material or digital creation of works of art and how it corresponds with process of tailoring a dress is not fully answered to me, the diversity of the exhibits suggests that almost any work of art is tailored to fit the creative view of the artist as well as some of the clothing items may have traces of artistic approach.
