Aegean sun with Weekend Max Mara artistic collection

MicolSabbadini_AegeanSun

We love greatly inspiring collaboration between Milanese fine art photographer Micol Sabbadini’s dreamy images and Weekend Max Mara. Chicly understated silhouettes and luxuriously rendered fabrics, the capsule collection’s Mediterranean vibe seems second nature to the newfound collaborators. Photographs, taken in stolen moments during travels, of whitewashedhouses, lazily drifting boats, intricate mosaics and luscious Mediterranean peonies are thoughtfully collaged or transformed into stunning patterns by the artist. The twelve pieces featured in the collection were designed with long, carefree days in mind. The images were designed specifically for the cut of three of these garments, treating each Piece like one of Sabbadini’s artworks.

Venice Biennale 2017 Viva Arte Viva !

FHGWJBHERS53933This year’s is  Viva Arte Viva, a show inspired by humanism! Long live the arts! ” was the motto chosen for the 2017 Venice Biennale by French curator Christine Macel. The celebration of culture is well-needed in these times.

The Biennale comprises a central exhibition, organized this year by Christine Macel, chief curator of the Pompidou Center in Paris;  In the Venetian Arsenal and the Giardini area 85 national pavilions, which feature solo or thematic presentations.

Art can take us anywhere. The 57th Venice Biennale  transports you round the globe as never before, from Inuit whaling boats to Brazilian rainforests, from Korean barber shops to Iraqi minefields and Antiguan beaches. I believe I will ever get a better sense of Finland slightly shamefaced progressiveness than through Erkka Nissinen and IMG_9075Nathaniel Mellors absurdist satire, featuring animatronic eggs; or nearer to Kosovo than the tragic bakelite phone that never rings in Sislej Xhaf Lost and Found booth, commemorating the disappeared. Spectacular as ever, Russia pavilion opens with a dramatic double-headed eagle rising out of a ghostly wheat field composed of a million tiny workers, and ends with bodies literally and metaphorically blocked in stone for the crime of hacking. Acute visions of Soviet past and Putin present.
