Coming up in June: Exhibition Showcabinet in london

Iris van Herpen's water-dress will be on display to the public for the very first time this June as the central piece in the upcoming SHOWcabinet exhibition. Opening on Thursday 6 June, the exhibition will showcase both the dress and the film that was made during Splash, a creative collaboration between van Herpen, Nick Knight and Daphne Guinness. The whole process was streamed live on SHOWstudio.com over a 7 day broadcast, and now we're displaying the pieces themselves at the headquarters at 19 Motcomb Street in London. In van Herpen's work fashion, science, art and technology are not separate subjects, but flow from a single source. And so accompanying her work in the cabinet are art works and fashion items that make the same leaps to break down the divisions between disciplines.
The artists included are informed by art history, science and nature equally and present works created through meticulous and repetitive crafts. They find their inspiration in natural wonders- spirals, skeletons, waves and wings, where science and art collide.

The artists featured include Iris van Herpen, Nick Knight, Geoffrey Lillemon, Salvador Breed, Kris Kuksi, Tobias Klein, Michael Hansmeyer, Kate MccGwire, Philip Treacy, Jordan Askill, Isaie Bloch and Irene Bussemaker.

Sonomorphic Mirror

Today, Showstudio.com launched Sonomorphic Mirror, the film that artist Geoffrey Lillemon and sound artist Salvador Breed worked on throughout the week of broadcasting. The duo have created a dramatic piece that represents the Splash! project in moving image and sound.
From the thousands of stills captured in Nick Knight's water shoot, Lillemon has carefully composed a selection of frames to create his film. Seen from the side and front on, a nude Daphne Guinness appears clothed in cascades of water. The footage, like van Herpen's dress, captures transient moments of chaos. Positioned within an oval frame, Guinness appears as a reflection in a mirror, or portrait.
Lillemon's imagery is accompanied by Breed's sound piece. Describing his aim, Breed says, 'I wanted to describe the magic of transforming moving liquid into a dress.' He did this by combining, stretching and filtering the sound of Guinness singing opera with various recordings of water. The resulting piece is perfectly in sync with Lillemon's visual narrative. As the water hits Guinness' nude figure, its force is audible and it becomes the dominant sound.
Sonomorphic Mirror truly encapsulates the creativity and wonder of Splash! Discover it now to re-live the magic of our LiveStudio with Iris van Herpen.
