South Korean Musician SHAUN Was Invited to Tour Leeum Museum’s ‘Kaleidoscope Eyes’ Exhibition
Augmented Reality and virtual reality were once held as visions of a distant future. Just stating the words conjure up retro-futuristic films and TV shows, such as Star Trek or Back to the Future. As social media has shown over the years, however, this idealized future is well within the present and artists of all backgrounds have utilized AR and VR technologies to further expand on their creative expression. Amongst a number of exhibitions exploring the matter, Leeum Museum of Art and Hoam Museum of Art in Seoul presented an emphatic exhibition dubbed Kaleidoscope Eyes, where artists including Olafur Eliasson, KAWS and Julie Curtiss exemplified the creative potential of this burgeoning field. Curated by Acute Art‘s director Daniel Birnbaum, the event marked the largest institutional exhib...
Pen & Paper: Sebastian Curi
“The work that I do is joyful.” How do you imbue storytelling within your work? At the beginning, I just wanted a job that paid. After, I started to want to do things that reflected some kind of value or idea. I needed to see myself within the work. It took me years to establish a studio and have a voice and to be able to push my own work. I really come from a place of animation and advertising, where there is a lot of feedback and revisions. Over the last few years, I feel like the paintings and illustrations split me into two different people. It’s all living in the same universe though. What are some films that may have subconsciously influenced your art? I love film, but I think I was too young to really study them in that way. At that age, I was into a lot of stuff. I think LA — havin...
London Girls All Agree: This Is the Go-To Brand for Great Winter Boots
When the temperature suddenly drops in London, there’s only one choice of footwear I’m interested in: boots. People in London will do their very best to prolong their time in ballet pumps and mules, but once winter is here, the truly sensible choice of shoe has to be the boot in all its forms. My love affair with a great pair of winter boots stems from the ability to dress them up or down for any occasion. (The only place you won’t find me wearing knee-high boots in December is the gym, and that’s only because this month is an exercise-free period.) When it comes to elevated footwear, Russell & Bromley needs no introduction. Whilst you may find its stores on many high streets throughout the UK, its offering is hardly of a high-street status but rather ...
London Has Spoken—These 8 Fashion Trends Will Be Big News in 2023
When it comes to style, London is one of the most dialled-in cities in the world. A cross between the polish of Paris, the edginess of New York, and the playfulness of Milan, London is perhaps the most eclectic of all the major fashion locales; you never quite know what outfits you’ll see or which trends you’ll spot. This is true of the runway as well as the street, the latter of which, I’d argue, is where you’ll find the most inspiration. I now work and live remotely (in the countryside, no less), so I rely on the outfits I see coming out of the capital to inform not only my own wares but also what I choose to share with you here, on Who What Wear. Still, being on the peripheral is helpful, as it allows me to take a more nuanced look at the London fashion tren...
I’m Getting Married Next Year, So I Tried On All of the Best Modern Bridal Looks
After working in fashion for the last 7 years, I’d like to think that I’m a confident dresser. By now I know my style, my shape, and the trends that are worth investing in, but even as a seasoned fashion editor, the one outfit that caused me the most deliberation was my wedding day outfit. In the year that gave us Nicola Peltz’ square necked gown and Kourtney Kardashian’s corset mini, there are more options than ever when it comes to wedding dress styles. But the pressure to find ‘the one’ is almost as overwhelming as planning the day itself. There is an unspoken rule that whatever you wear has to tick several boxes–most commonly, will it make the groom cry? Will it ‘suit’ the venue? Will it still look as good in photos in 30 years ...
I Just Elevated a Few Simple Items Into 6 Trending Outfits—Here’s How
It’s no secret that activewear can—and frankly, should—be worn outside of the gym. The eternal ease of perfect-fit leggings and a non-wired bra is reason alone, but for me, it isn’t just a case for comfort. It’s an argument for style. Some of the world’s best dressed are those that embrace athleisure in their everyday wardrobes. Hailey Bieber, Bella Hadid, Rihanna and Ashley Graham (to name a few) are amongst those that are often captured on the streets sporting their gym kit. Arguably, this aesthetic was popularised by Princess Diana and her now-iconic oversized sweater and cycling shorts, which she’d wear to and from the gym. But let’s make one thing abundantly clear: I’m not just talking post-workout wear. I’m suggesting actively selecting activewear as a choice of dress, rega...
Philip Guston’s Daughter Will Donate 220 of Her Father’s Artwork to The Met
Philip Guston’s daughter, Musa Mayer, announced that she will donate 220 works made by her father to New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met). The promised gift will include 96 paintings, 124 drawings and $10m USD to the institution to further studies on Guston’s work. “I’m about to turn 80 years old,” Mayer told The New York Times in an interview. “I started thinking about what was going to happen after my lifetime — and after my husband’s lifetime — to these important works.” Initially, Mayer considered donating the work to the Guston Foundation she had established in 2013, but decided on offering to a world-class institution that could exhibit the collection more frequently. “Because my father cared so much about the history of art going back to the Renaissance — and even before ...
WOAW Gallery Presents ‘SMART IDIOTS’ Group Exhibition
Art continues to stretch from one medium to the next, bringing about an influx of new ideas and tools for expression. While digital media presents a wealth of possibilities, painting continues to be the tried-and-true method for many creatives. SMART IDIOTS is a new group exhibition at WOAW Gallery that uses this premise as its point of departure to explore how six artists celebrate the physicality and sensations of painting. The show’s title is a cheeky nod to curator Matías Sánchez‘s belief that many people are smart idiots, who know of their strengths, yet are filled with self-doubt. “Seemingly fun and silly, the title has many layers of understanding to it, much like the works by Sánchez, which are joyful and fun upon first glance. When digging deeper, the viewer will see a certain men...
