The De Young in San Francisco has staged a ground-breaking
multimedia exhibit featuring 140 of John Paul Gaultier’s haute couture
designs. With a career spanning more
than forty years, the context of Gaultier’s work is often gritty and
controversial although the superb craftsmanship and detail ensure the work is
always beautiful. Known in popular
culture for his work with Madonna in the 90s and his costume design on The
Fifth Element and City of Lost Children, Gaultier’s work transcends high
fashion into fine art. Working in
collaboration with Montreal-based theater company Ubu Compagnie de Creation,
the exhibit includes 30 animated mannequins who talk, sing, and blink in an
eerily lifelike way. The exhibit ran
through August 19th 2013.
