Helmut Lang

    Helmut Lang, an Austrian artist working in New York, has reshaped both fashion and art with his distinctive approach. After defining the silhouette of the 1990s and early 2000s through unconventional materials and a re-imagining of utility and modernity, Lang moved away from traditional runway shows, pioneering online collection streaming and redefining fashion communication. His work left an indelible mark on contemporary culture, with his influence continually resonating within the fashion community. Lang's artistic endeavors extend beyond fashion, exploring abstract forms and spatial arrangements that challenge the limitations of the human body, often in collaboration with other artists.

      Helmut Lang is mainly known for his minimal, deconstructivist, and often severe fashion designs. His most recent body of work exhibited at kestnergesellschaft, Hanover in 2008 marked the logical conclusion to a constantly rearranging equation. Turning away from the physical body and its social articulation through clothes, Lang created a series of objects that addressed the intersection of public and private experience as it is recorded through mythologies both personal and shared. Throughout the exhibition new works explored and developed the social and physical membranes between interior and exterior, identities and spaces. Drawing on references as diverse as the folkloric rites of maypole ceremonies and the exploration of surrogate skin, Lang created a series of installations and objects that integrated an intimate knowledge of the human form with the personal mythologies and abstract arrangements of the world at large. English and German text.
