CAMP: NOTES ON FASHION

Through over 250 objects ranging dating from the 17th Century to present days, the Exhibition organized by the "Costume Institute's" explores the origins of aesthetics. In "Notes on Camp" by Susan Sontag ca. 1964, we find how the elements of irony, humor, parody, artifice, theatricality, and exaggeration are all expressed in fashion.

ALICJA KWADE - PARAPIVOT
APRIL 16th – OCTOBER  27th, 2019
The work of the Berlin artist Alicja Kwade (born in 1979 in Poland) is elegant, rigorous and highly experiential. You can visit the exhibition by "climbing" to the Rooftop of the MET, a perfect opportunity to admire Central Park and Manhattan from above. For the exhibition at the Met, Kwade created two sculptures using steel and stone to evoke a miniature solar system, a piece of space that was temporarily established on the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor hanging gardens.
This is Kwade's first Exhibition in a museum in the United States.
