The close link that exists between fashion and art depends on their capacity as interpreters of a series of social and symbolic meanings, which go beyond the principle of functionality to become forms of communication. The influence that art has always had on fashion is today empowered by new technologies and new media that are more and more frequently inserted into works by contemporary artists. Fashion has earned itself an important place in art exhibitions, in the same way that art has increased its appeal as a source of inspiration for fashion designers. . The Fashion Curator is a new figure that has the task of studying the subject and content of a display, deciding on its staging and ultimately, its educational aspect, translating it into a language accessible by the public, its main user. We must not confuse fashion in this context with the field of clothing, the normal meaning for this word in everyday language. It is actually a far more complicated phenomenon, one not limited purely to garments, although they represent its origins and the source it has drawn on for its strong influence on society as a whole. It also relates to architecture, design, aesthetics and art in general. The summer Art and Fashion course aims to provide the basics for wider-reaching study and reflection, covered in full in the Art & Fashion Masters.
The summer course is organised as follows:
PART I - theory
History of Contemporary Fashion and contaminations with Contemporary Art Sociology of Fashion Presentation of the world’s most important museum systems
PART II - practical session
Presentation of the role of Fashion Curator Setting up an exhibition in dialogue with the artist
Lessons in the classroom will be integrated with visits to museums, exhibitions and galleries.
The main objective of the SPECIALISED SUMMER COURSES is to enrich the student’s basic knowledge by taking a detailed look at a specific subject.
I should choose the summer Art & Fashion course:
* - Because this subject is very interesting and pertinent to my studies or my current professional position and I am very interested in gaining more information about it
* - to satisfy my curiosity and see if this sector is suited to me and if I should therefore continue to study in this direction To this end, we advise you to reflect on the possibility of also attending the afternoon career guidance course on Job Profiles, a journey through the roles and tasks of the various figures working in the fashion system. It will help you get a better picture of who does what inside (or outside) a fashion company.
