winterSALON/2012: Painted presents 'Dance me your Secret....'

Painted will present during WinterSALON/ 2012: Painted Secret. 

Painted Secret is a limited edition of 24 related tops and shifts.

Painted Secret provides a space in which makers and wearers meet.

Painted Secret appears in a videoclip

Painted Secret is a series of delicate, fully fashioned knitted camisoles and 'shifts' in silk/cashmere yarn, worn as a secret to the skin. The pieces stem from the same pattern, machine-knitted in different colour variations.

They have evolved into unique pieces, by the addition of Bulgarian handlace and woven clothing elements.

The various hands and the machine complement each other in this work.

Painted Secret is a brief window of time where Painted will be ‘live’ at Droog,

Staalstraat 7b in Amsterdam: from Wednesday February 1st until Sunday February 5th 2012, during Droog

store opening hours ( daily 11:00-18:00, Sunday 12:00-17:00 )

During this time, Painted Secret can be tried, bought and ordered and Painted will work on the spot.

Painted Secret is a short film, a video clip of the band Toversex (Erzsi Pennings and Pieter Wackers) starring Natascha Dejong (SYTYCD) dancing Painted Secret to life.

The premiere of this film will be at the opening of WinterSALON/ on January 21st, 14:00 in Droog, and will be on show until February 5th.

The knitwear was commissioned for the collection and developed with Audax Textiles Museum Tilburg/Textilelab.

Led by Dutch designers Saskia van Drimmelen and Margreet Sweerts, Painted Series is a collective that blurs the lines between fashion and performance, and expands the idea of what a garment can be.

The living museum. Contemporary music moves the objects of Kevin Power through the Jacob de Witzaal of the Bijbels Museum in Amsterdam. A recital for 11 musicians, singers and actors. With text excerpts from the Revelation to John and other classical text-sources. A salon of tones, textures and reverberating scriptures. The recital is realized as a collaboration between violinist Jacob Plooij, visual artist Kevin Power and the performance formation Anti-Delusion Mechanism.

winterSALON/2012: 'Garment Graffiti' by Thomas Voorn @ Bijbels Museum

Thomas Voorn creates colourful environmental friendly landscape pollution. He travels around with bags full of clothes, his alphabet, to create Garment Graffiti in a typical colour range.

In several photo series the garments and letters are subtly pushed to their limits. Garments are thrown into a duckweed ditch, hung up as washing in a winter forest and layed out on rooftops, creating surreal confrontations with words for a passerby. At times the garment typography appears as leftovers of a person undressed, looking for friction between clothes, text and context. Thomas Voorn developed his unique 'textile typography' in 2006, resulting in several projects and commissions. 

For winterSALON/2012 he creates a unique Garment Graffiti at the Bijbels Museum.
