The Costume Institute's fall 2023 exhibition will explore the creativity and artistic legacy of women fashion designers from The Met’s permanent collection, tracing a lineage of makers from the turn of the twentieth century to the present day by highlighting celebrated designers, new voices, and forgotten histories alike.

Women Dressing Women will feature the work of over seventy womenswear designers, spanning ca. 1910 to today, including French haute couture from houses such as Jeanne Lanvin, Elsa Schiaparelli, and Madeleine Vionnet, to American makers like Ann Lowe, Claire McCardell, and Isabel Toledo, along with contemporary designs by Iris van Herpen, Rei Kawakubo, Anifa Mvuemba, and Simone Rocha.

A catalogue, published by The Met and distributed by Yale University Press, will accompany the exhibition 4 Dec 2023- 3 March 2024

From time to time I discover largely forgotten artists and architects whose work immediately strikes me as original and which leaves me wondering why they aren’t better known. One such artist is Franz Pauli (1927-70), a painter and stained glass artist based in Cologne. In fact Pauli studied biology and art at the Cologne Werkkunstschule, the Düsseldorf Art Academy and Cologne University to become a teacher but never worked as one. Among his teachers were Otto Pankok in Düsseldorf and Friedrich Vordemberge-Gildewart in Cologne and especially the latter’s example of Constructivism had a lasting impact on Pauli: up until his untimely death Pauli refined his constructivist language towards a highly individual idiom characterized by distinctive sense of rhythm and order inspired by technical symbols and circuitry. This formal vocabulary he also applied in his manifold stained glass designs for churches in predominantly the Cologne, Paderborn and Essen dioceses.

The present little book, published alongside the artist‘s retrospective exhibition at Maternushaus Köln in 1988, contains a brief cross-section of Pauli‘s œuvre that includes stained glass works, graphics, paintings and gouaches. The latter are characterized by horizontal and vertical layers that sometimes even include figurative elements, a significant deviation from his other works. It seems that Pauli despite his largely constructivist art never completely abandoned figuration as it frequently appears in his stained glass works too. In spite of his early death the artist left a very interesting and diverse oeuvre that unfortunately is very much forgotten.

Madagascar Hissing Cockroach - Gromphadorhina portentosa

With this set of insect images, all pictures from the ROM for the year 2023 are proudly displayed on this blog for you to enjoy. I've already gone at length discussing these feisty beans and their habits, behaviors and routines. While many onlookers may not see these armored insects as appealing, I take great knowing the role that they have within their own ecosystems and the opportunities they provide for eager minds to learn, whether as pets or in exhibits. It could be worse if you're not a Roach fan: as this specie lacks wings, it can't suddenly startle you by becoming airborne and (unintentionally) buzzing towards you. They can run rather quickly, however! Having visited this exhibit many times before, it would be a benefit to have additional information displayed regarding these curious insects.

Though simple, there's so much to learn about them, and many myths that can be dispelled so as to not treat all Roaches as "dirty insects" (admittedly these species does consume debris and rotting material as they are decomposers by nature). An interactive series of hissing samples would provide a lot of insight into how they interact and communicate with each other and the other creatures they encounter. Perhaps hearing it live is more authentic, but in a carefully curated environment such as this one, agitating the exhibit denizens for spectacle wouldn't be the best idea. Besides, a sudden hiss from such a small creature is quite startling the first time, especially if you're not expected it. It's up to the Cockroach to determine how aggressively it will press air from its spiracles.

Pictures were taken on December 19, 2023 with a Google Pixel 4. Please go and visit the bugs.

If you're in the Chicago area, highly recommend seeing Gio Swaby: Fresh Up at the Art Institute. Some truly beautiful textile work.

My work operates in the context of understanding love as liberation—a healing and restorative force. These pieces celebrate personal style, vulnerability, strength, beauty, individuality, and imperfections.

—Gio Swaby

Hilma af Klint & Piet Mondrian : Forms of Life

Nabila Abdel Nabi, Laura Stamps & Briony Fer

Tate Publishing, London 2023, 24,3x29,4cm, ISBN 9781849768443

euro 45,00

email if you want to buy [email protected]

Although they never met, Hilma af Klint and Piet Mondrian shared a deep dynamic connection to the natural world and began their careers as landscape painters. For them, science and mysticism were not exclusive practices, but part of the same essential framework for understanding the life forces around them.

Both artists engaged with science and esoteric thought as tools for exploring the underlying structures of nature and how they give meaning to art and life. Natural forms are abstracted to their atomic levels; cells evolve, dividing and expanding the canvas in colour; sinuous stems spiral into the ether whilst the crystalline formations of grids stretch out to form an infinite universe.

Including works never before seen in the UK, this publication will elucidate and invigorate our understanding of two ground-breaking artists and will be sure to get synapses firing.

The First World War for many German artists was a catalytic experience that changed their work forever. Although Max Beckmann “only” volunteered as medical orderly and unlike e.g. Otto Dix didn’t sit tight in the trenches, the experience initiated a drastic shift in his work: where before Beckmann had dealt with historical topics in a late impressionist idiom that channeled influences from Rembrandt, Goya and early Cézanne, from 1915 onwards his style developed into what he himself coined „transcendental objectivity“, an amalgamation of Expressionism, Cubism and late medieval art. It was a direct reaction to the horrors he was confronted with as medical orderly and followed a nervous breakdown in the same year: biblical scenes, crammed into tight spaces and painted in a flat instead of spatial manner from now on are the new direction in Beckmann’s oeuvre. In brutal, almost nightmarish tableaus classical scenes like „Descent from the Cross“ and „Christ and the Sinner“ Beckmann processed the turmoils of war and the societal upheaval it triggered way beyond the end of the war.

Late last year the Neue Galerie in New York dedicated a comprehensive exhibition to Max Beckmann’s formative years between 1915 and 1925 which was accompanied by the eponymous catalogue published by Prestel. In crisp reproductions it features the paintings, drawings and lithographs presented in the exhibition but also features insightful essays by curator Olaf Peters and others. The former provides an excellent analysis of the artists’ dramatic stylistic changes and his reaction to postwar Germany with a particular focus on the disabled veterans. In the lithographic portfolio „Hell“ from 1919 he depicts the traumatized survivors and takes a biting satirical look on postwar society that also represents a link to his later Circus-themed works.

What both exhibition and catalogue quite plainly show is the incredible urgency contained in Beckmann’s works between 1915 and 1925 and with what radicality he reacted to the fault lines in postwar society. At the same time this period forms the basis for all the later works, one of the many reasons for me to warmly recommended the catalogue!

Rachid Koraïchi 7 Variations autour de l'indigo

René Guitton, Danièle Giraudy

Photographies Jean Bernard, Rachid Koraïchi, Jean Pierre Linuésa

Exposition du 28 janvier au mars 2003 Galeries de la Vieille Charité, Musées de Marseille

Associant les techniques ancestrales des tampons de bois en usage à Alep (Syrie) et la couleur traditionnelle des indigotiers marseillais, R. Koraïchi a créé de nouvelles étoffes : aujourd'hui exposées sous forme de bannières ou de carrés, elles se déclinent autour du chiffre 7 et de sa mystique. L'artiste méditait. Il était venu chercher l'inspiration dans cette cité vieille de plusieurs millénaires. Alep au nord de la Syrie. Comme les couleurs voyagent, il voulait retrouver des traces de bleu sur cette route de l'Inde d'où venait l'indigo. Car en Alep, au fil des siècles, cette teinture avait été l'objet de nombreuses études dont certains secrets furent peu à peu révélés: indigo mêlé d'écorce de grenade avec addition d'eau de dattes ou de suc de raisin noir broyé ou de figues piétinées. Ces macérations étranges conféraient à l'indigo d'Alep une haute réputation dans toute la Méditerranée, Rachid Koraïchi souhaitait aussi acquérir de la soie, chiner de ces tampons anciens que les imprimeurs de tissu utilisaient encore au début du XXe siècle. Il les mêlerait aux siens qu'il allait créer ici, inspiré, comme nulle part ailleurs, par les étoffes imprimées. L'ambassade de France, à Damas, et les responsables des services culturels, sensibles au projet à ce point prometteur lui accordèrent une aide chaleureuse et il fut hébergé en une demeure, vestige du Mandat français, toute proche de la citadelle. L'artiste allait y travailler en paix et remonter la mémoire de l'indigo et des routes de la soie.

Zophobas Darkling Beetle (Superworm) - Zophobas morio

There's just something about today that warrants the showcase of "worms" and this particular specie of Darkling Beetle. Of course, the "worms" here aren't actual worms (referring to Annelids), there are the larval form of the armored individuals. This specie has already been covered before in detail; these pictures are actually part of the same set from a previous December post, so the information provided there also applies here. Although larvae and adults live together in the same terrarium, the latter will not eat the former. At least not while food is plentiful and there are no carcasses from expired Superworms to consider. Larvae however, are much more likely to eat each other, especially if some molt into defenseless pupae. Under the circumstances here, they aren't likely to molt while food and water are plentiful and many larvae are clustered together. Only when isolated from each other or placed in a secure environment will a larva turn into a pupa.

There are none here, but the Z. morio pupa are brownish-white, shrimp-shaped pupa and they eventually metamorphose into the adult Beetles you see before you. It's a staggering change, but the insect world is full of many astounding transformations as larvae/nymphs grow large, mature, and sprout wings. While the adult Beetles is heavily armored and can move around with greater locomotion, security and grip, they do lose certain advantages from their time as larvae. They can easily wriggle and navigate through the earth (or wood chips here), fit into small tunnels without needing to chew and expand them, and contour themselves along a surface as sleek-formed grubs. While these advantages may be missed, what is gained in adulthood (including the abilities to fly and reproduce) is more than worth it. If they would be told what was in store for them by an insect "Herald of the Change", would they accept?

Pictures were taken on December 19, 2023 with a Google Pixel 4. Check out the many insects of the Royal Ontario Museum if you happen to be in town.
