BUT IS IT ART?
032c Ready-To-Wear “Sequined Trouser”
“It’s not all in your head: the trousers are actually changing. As they age and the sequins oxidize, their hues shift from light gold and green to darker, reddish tones, emulating the appearance of an aging tree – or whatever else you want to see.”
Simona Kust wears 032c RTW and Buffalo by 032c Jodhpur Ankle Boots in white. Styled and photographed by 032c fashion director Marc Goehring.

Opening: 14.02.2020, 19h
Portikus is pleased to announce Liberty, Laura Langer’s first institutional solo exhibition.
The exhibition presents a new series of works, which are site-specific to Portikus. Seven paintings refer to the architecture, its function and its organization. The result is a body that informs itself cyclically, using repeated images, corresponding phrases, and the imperative position to generate relations, and to reinterpret the spaces in which they are displayed. What kind of authority does the building have? How is it organized? Can it be reorganized?
