winterSALON/2012:ancient handicrafts re-appreciated by Martine van 't Hul at Museum Geelvinck/Hinlopen Huis

The idea that ancient handicraft techniques disappear, motivates Martine van 't Hul to re-appreciate these embroidery techniques. In this serie she was inspired by an ancient Dutch craft: 'Zaans stikwerk'.
 Zaans stikwerk originated in the 17th and especially 18th century in the Netherlands. It's a technique in which a pattern is stiched through multiple layers of fabric. The patterns in Zaans stikwerk are made up of two parallel horizontal lines, through which another filling wire is threaded later in the proces.
Martine van 't Hul  - never neglecting her own typical handwriting -eloborated on this technique by adding antique jewelry & lace patterns between the layers of silk fabric.

About Min Oh
Min Oh (b. Seoul, North-Korea) is a story teller. She makes stories about tension between two contradictory qualities — sweet but disturbing, naive but violent, rational but personal, unreasonable but somehow reasonable. They constantly conflict, but never leave each other. Instead, they keep a weird balance between them. They live together almost everywhere, and every time. Since 2006, she has exhibited her work in New York, Los Angeles, London, Beijing, Ningbo, 12 cities in Russia, Seoul including in 'DesignMade' by Korea Design Foundation in 2009, 'Bauhaus Commuters' by Silke Opitz in 2009, 'Play on Screen' by Moviehouse in 2009, 'Free Store' by Anna Stein & Athena Robles in 2009, "Ningbo International Design Biennial" in 2008, “1st Contemporary & Modern Art Juried Exhibition for Aspiring Korean-American Artists” in 2007, “The Sinew of Galaxy - Not Only for Lvxiao” in 2007 among others. Currently she stays in Amsterdam hunting a lot of fun.

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.
