DIZAJN
Showcase by Serbian fashion designers Vernissage: Sunday 24 April 2016, 7.00pm
Period: Sunday 24 April – Sunday 30 April 2016, according to the opening hours of the gallery
(Thursday, Friday, Saturday 6.00 – 8.00pm) or on appointment – info@atelierhomegallery.org Location: Atelier Home Gallery: Palazzo Panfili – Via della Geppa 2 (III floor), Trieste - Italy Partners: Artrophia, Confindustria Serbia
The Atelier Home Gallery is pleased to open a new showcase about Serbian fashion design “DIZAJN”, where will be presented to the public six emerging fashion designers as part of the ongoing art exhibition YMETHOCT // CONTEMPORARY SERBIA about painting art. The event is realized by the Atelier Home Gallery and the blog Artrophia, which together have decided to highlight another art form in which Serbian artists denote style and creativity, such as fashion design. Six designers chosen to represent Serbia: well known names selected for the event, appreciated by magazines such as Vogue Talents and also published in many other relevant newspapers. The young designers will offer an overview of their collections relating jewels (STUDIO MANUFACTURA), menswear (KONY MIAMI), women's clothing bon ton style (Maradu), gypsy glam (GALA Borovic STUDIO) or monumental (DAJANA VASIC), up to the wearable sculptures already finalists at the prestigious ITS Contest (SONJA IGLIC). An exhibition within an exhibition, this is the intent of the creators: a dialogue between painting and fashion in which these two actually mimic with each other, playing with the role and the weight given to them in a possible ranking inside the Art. For this reason that clothes are framed like paintings or jewels are freed from their incidental nature to approach a statuesque seriousness, while the paintings are "stripped" of their sacred aura to prove simple traces of personal experience of an individual, told by means of the techniques of painting. The showcase DIZAJN intends, therefore, provide a small insight into the present fashion scene in Serbia, emphasizing creativity and beauty that depict the facets and faces of this fascinating country.

ARTROPHIA https://artrophia.wordpress.com Platform to realize otherworldly visions and blog. L’arte profuma di nuovo, o meglio di nuovo. ATELIER HOME GALLERY www.atelierhomegallery.org It organizes exhibitions and happenings at the historical home of a family of two artists, Roberto del Frate and Roberta de Jorio, presenting contemporary artists to investigate how artworks fit in a living space that has a more intimate feeling. Inside this living space there are two different realities: the gallery (hosting art exhibitions and industrial design showcases) and the Atelier of Roberto del Frate, where the painter gives life to his artistic visions. This “home gallery” is located at the third floor of the majestic Panfili Palace, built at the end of the XIX Century from the Panfili family, characterized by his amusing big spaces with a historic atmosphere. Going beyond the normal reach of a gallery, it offers painting courses, psychoanalytic talks, music events, video screenings and enogastronomic experiences.
