 There have been many recent exhibitions exploring the relationships between art and fashion, but the current exhibition at Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen surveys the exhibition through a previously unexplored angle. "Vreemde Dingen" or translated to English, "Strange Things" looks at the influence of Surrealism on art, design, fashion, film and architecture. Curated by the Antwerp based fashion designers, Walter van Beirendonck and Dirk Van Saene, they combine all the above to provide a well rounded overview of this important, although short lived, art movement. The exhibition combines historical works such as, Rene Magritte's "Le Modele Rouge III", Salvador Dali, "Mae West Lips Sofa". 1937- 38, and Elsa Schiaparelli, "The Skeleton Dress" 1938, with more recent works by Cindy Sherman, Martin Margiela, Andrea Camarosano, Sarah Lucas and Van Beirendonck's, "Finally Chesthair" 1997, which reproduces Walter's own chest on a stretch fit tee shirt, (please provide your own belly). This full exhibition, with over 200 works, shows the influence that surrealism continues to have on the creative output of today. "Vreemde Dingen" is realized in association with the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, and Mondriaan Stichting, Amsterdam.
