News | 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.
