Description of the exhibition
‘ECHO’ reflects on the intimate connection between clothing and memory through the lens of three artists whose work shares a tactile and emotional intensity: artist Louise Bourgeois, designer Simone Rocha and choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker.
‘ECHO’ is about the memories of babyhood, childhood and motherhood, ageing and nostalgia, handmaking and repair, and both the physical and emotional memories of clothing.
Dig deeper
It gives me great pleasure to hold on to my clothes, my dresses, my stockings, I have never thrown away a pair of shoes of mine in 20 years. The pretext is that they are still good – it’s my past and as rotten as it was, I would like to take it and hold it tight in my arms.
The exhibition includes work by artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Marianne Berenhaut, Billie Zangewa, Cassi Namoda, Cathy Wilkes, Harley Weir, Maya Barrera, Martin Margiela, Liz Magor and Laila Gohar.
