Louise BourgeoisIn 2010, Hauser & WIrth exhibited over seventy of the late Louise Bourgeois fabric drawings alongside four large-scale sculptures. Made from clothing and other domestic effects accumulated through out Bourgeois’ lifetime, the drawings utilize the imminent charactersitics of the weathered materials. The works are beautifully simple and painterly in their compositions, mostly abstract at first glance, but noticeably personal and intimate. Timelessly beautiful, the fabric works of Louise Bourgeois are worth looking back upon, even a few years after the fact.http://www.hauserwirth.com/

Bloom Skin – a gorgeous wind installation for Issey Miyake

For the Spring/Summer 2012 collection of ELTTOB TEP – Issey Miyake’s more innovative retail project – visual design studio WOW created an installation of 8 computer controlled fans and a single piece of fabric. Called ‘organdie,’ the ultra-light fabric, which is also used throughout the collection, creates gentle wave-like motions as it dances in the show window. Calming and gorgeous!

Venus of the Rags by Michelangelo Pistoletto

“The name (Arte Povera) means literally ‘poor art’ but the word poor  here refers to the movement’s signature exploration of a wide range of  materials beyond the quasi-precious traditional ones of oil paint on  canvas, or bronze, or carved marble. Arte Povera therefore denotes not  an impoverished art, but an art made without restraints, a laboratory  situation in which any theoretical basis was rejected in favour of a  complete openness towards materials and processes” (The Tate Modern website)
