Where Art Meets Fashion
17.8.–12.11.2012
Boutique at the Amos Anderson Art Museum is a wide-ranging multi-art form exhibition that fuses fashion with art. The exhibition has been curated by Annamari Vänskä. Reminiscent of a department store of art with departments on different levels, Boutique is a total work of art with music and dance amply represented.
Boutique has been created in the spirit of collaboration and community. Five teams – each consisting of an artist and a designer – have created joint works of art. The teams are Paola Suhonen–Mikko Ijäs, Katja Tukiainen–Samu-Jussi Koski, Tero Puha–Teemu Muurimäki, Salla Salin–Timo Rissanen and Minna Parikka–Jani Leinonen.
Cultural Dresscode, a sociological study of dress, by Heidi Lunabba and the artist duo Nutty Tarts (Tärähtäneet ämmät), and Boutique's signature images, paintings and photographs, by Rauha Mäkilä and photographer Juliana Harkki are on display on the second floor. A workshop for schools entitled Neutral, on the same floor, encourages pupils to release their inner fashionista.
The exhibition soundtrack has been compiled by Vellu "DJ Slow" Maurola from UMO Jazz orchestra recordings. The Boutique shop is at street level. A fashion magazine entitled Boutique has also been published.
The dance installation un fit by Anna Mustonen & Co is on the sixth floor.
The exhibition is part of the World Design Capital Helsinki 2012 official program and the visual art program of the Helsinki Festival.
