ARTIST TO ARTIST: CREEP BY HIROSHI AWAI VS. DANIEL BUREN
Creep was founded in Osaka, Japan by Kiyofumi Awai in 1997. In 2008, Hiroshi Awai, Kiyofumi's brother based in Toronto Canada, took over as Creep's men's creative director. Hiroshi combines beautiful textiles with innovative Japanese design with his passion for the simple beauty of functional American workwear.
Daniel Buren: To Cut Out: Situated Words 1969-2009
Since the mid-1960s, Daniel Buren has challenged the accepted canon and prescribed experience of art. His 2007 exhibition at Bortolami presented new situated work and the iconic early paintings of 1965-66: stretched woven, striped fabric (linen) – like mattress ticking or a shop awning-on which the artist added white borders or simply painted white in the white lines of the pattern. This work innovated a new direction beyond the ready-made, which had been the dominant expression for the avant-garde. The 2009 exhibition continues the chronological history of his work and shows new iterations of his approach and philosophy.
