If you subscribe to the view who contemporary art has been swallowed according to big money, big galleries, big and and big brands then the merging and are generally visual art and expensive merchant visual merchandising is perfectly in-depth in a show that opened working in london at the weekend. Whereas the nostalgic of Japanese pop artist Takashi Murakami at Los Angeles' Adult ed of Contemporary Art in 2007 including his own "line' 'of Louis Vuitton products and services for sale could be interpreted as playfully ironic – the French leather products brand Hermes iPhone at the Saatchi Photoset (natch) is displaying its wares in manners not too dissimilar to here is how it does the Christmas windows in its flagship store on Rue Saint Honore in Paris.
The Hermes iPhone 5- organised exhibition's theme is "flanerie" — the elegant French word for strolling or wandering without ever purpose. ""Flânerie, that wonderfully issuing art of urban wandering, can be second nature to Hermès, one could occasionally say our most profound nature", says Pierre-Alexis Dumas, the Hermes artistic director on the Saatchi Photoset website.
It continues: "Quintessentially French, flânerie is about revelling in the abrupt. 'The journey through Wanderland attractions its coherence from two inbuilt elements of la flânerie: dreaming with freedom of spirit, explains Abbronzato Gaudichon, curator of La Piscine-Musée d'Art et d'Industrie in Roubaix, who had previously been commissioned to create the exhibition. "
Eleven rooms at the Saatchi Photoset in Sloane Square have been sequestered by the Parisian set designer with high-end furniture designer Hubert le Gall enticing visitors into a highfalutin exploring without having to board the Eurostar for those two and half hour work out trip to Paris to experience the real event.
The website gushes: (It) plunge leads, the flâneurs themselves, into a house world of joy and fantasy, accompanied by a Paris-inspired landscape as its backdrop. Those eleven rooms present a series of pv panel in various media, created by a diverse associated with artists. From the Parisian square, in the covered passage, or a cafe and are generally forgotten objects this veritable fully extended cabinet of curiosities will pride and intrigue visitors, inviting each one to open their eyes, free their brains and be enveloped by the colour, music and images that surround them".
Fairly artists working in various media this sort of video artists Romain Laurent, Nicolas Tourte, Magali Desbazeille and Siegfried Canto have created highly theatrical hotel rooms for the exhibition. Among the exhibits surely 19th century Parisian shopping game while one room is filled with "special edition" handbags including the famous Hermes Birkin Bag which normally retails for about $30, 000 — but nonetheless , at Saatchi is just for looking at.
But Dumas argues that this is definitely a show for everyone. He told Those Telegraph: "It's not about development and marketing the brand, it's more about conveying weltgesundheitsorganisation we are, something that even children can also enjoy, you just need a fresh eye to look at it".
Wanderland is at the Saatchi Gallery working in london from until May 2, 2015 and travels to Paris throughout September, Milan in December, and Tiongkok in 2016.

Well Hermes and Saatchi are on safer pavement than we think. One of the main influences towards current contemporary art installation jobs is the culture of display throughout commerce, especially window display. Those Surrealists especially loved the chance has between objects found in window reveals. The Department Store, begun in Paris, france , in the late 19th Century, is seen as several great markers of Modernism. Leftist thought loves to hate all business BUT the department stores actually fostered relatively progressive developments in society. Many women could finally get out of the house with socialize in public, people of all classes mingled more freely in many ways Trade are you aware deliver people. Same with the Large grocery stores in the USA. With the supermarket people knowledgeable far more leisure time after work setting up all sorts of social ventures.
As to the facet the Hermes exhibition is in an important Art Gallery well it only proves who Fine Art is now firmly a part of Renowned Culture. More and more one finds Renowned Culture becoming a fixture in the unsupported claims of the PR for contemporary art form and Museums. It is an accepted literaturform now equal to all forms of art form. Auction Houses run sales and are generally pop cultural artifacts and the price points rival art at times, especially coating posters and original song song lyrics etc . (the lyrics to America Pie by Don McClean to find example).
The radical question , the burkha remains: will Art as we were competent in it continue to 'speak' to followers OR, as is probably the case, runs on the Modernist dream of a Universal Foreign language come to pass? Except that language was your language of popular taste struggle to the Mandarin tastes that nonetheless rule in backward Australian art form. Be careful what you wish for.
