Atelier EB Passerby
Exhibition January 31 − May 10, 2020
Garage Museum of Modern Art presents a large exhibition projectAtelier EB Passerby.
The Atelier EB Passer-by exhibition is a borderline project where museum and shop windows, archival materials on the history of fashion, ethnographic museums and world exhibitions meet.
Atelier EB (Edinburgh-Brussels Atelier) - this is how designer Beka Lipscomb and artist Lucy Mackenzie sign their joint projects. Atelier EB is expanding beyond the fashion industry, rethinking the familiar ways of displaying and distributing products. Atelier EB often uses presentations on the territory of contemporary art, combining elements of design and cultural research.
The Atelier EB Passerby exhibition is the result of a two-year study that focused on those behind the rich history of world exhibitions and fairs of the 20th century, legendary department stores, ethnographic museums and fashion socialist camp countries. Previously, the exhibition was shown at the Serpentine Gallery in London (2018) and at the Lafayette Anticipations in Paris (2019). Each version of the project, including the one presented at the Garage Museum of Modern Art, is organized in dialogue with the local context.
The involvement of many specialists and experts in the work on the exhibition is supported by the fundamental principle for Atelier EB to cooperate in research and production. Atelier EB invited artists Taube Auerbach, Anna Blessman, Steff Norwood, Elizabeth Radcliffe, Bernie Reed and Marcus Zelga to create a mannequin or display case for exhibiting individual items from earlier Atelier collections - Inventors of Tradition (2011), Ost End Girls (2013) and Inventors of Tradition II (2015). All invited artists emphasize the cultural significance of clothing in their artistic practice and are either buyers of Atelier EB or collaborate with it. The exhibition features several more collaborations: a sculpture created in collaboration with Marcus Proshek for Lafayette Anticipations; digital objects - together with Calum Stirling.
