The Face of Lace
(11-11-2008 till 01-03-2009)
A celebration of contemporary art, fashion and design in the
entire city, both indoors and outdoors. This ambitious project
will allow Bruges, home of traditional
lace, to show its other side – a side laced with exciting new
insights and fascinating new interpretations of lace. More and more
artists and designers are discovering lace. One of the designers in
the exhibition is Jeroen Verhoeven, with his famous Lace Fence: a
meshwork of metal threads, worked into traditional lace motifs.
“Everybody will know his name,” said Donna Karan about this young
Dutchman. The famous English design magazine Frame will publish a
special edition, which will serve as a catalogue.
