INHALE is a cultural platform where artists are presented, where great projects are given credit and readers find inspiration. Think about Inhale as if it were a map: we can help you discover which are the must-see events all over the world, what is happening now in the artistic and cultural world as well as guide you through the latest designers’ products. Inhale interconnects domains that you are interested in, so that you will know all the events, places, galleries, studios that are a must-see. We have a 360 degree overview on art and culture and a passion to share.
The expressive garments of Canadian designer Ying Gao appear to be made of air and light. Bridging art, science and technology, Gao’s clothing materializes the immaterial with interplay between matter and imagination, and between the tangible body and the infinite expression of its embellishment. Poetic effects are developed through computational systems, motors, sensors, embedded electronics, pneumatic and interactive technologies – and with a distinctive aesthetic grace. A focus on urban cultures and transformation is central to this exhibition, which presents six installations produced between 2008 and 2013.
Fashioning the Intangible is curated by Renee Baert and is circulated by Cargo Curatorial Group.
Ying Gao is a professor at the Université de Québec à Montréal (UQAM) in its Centre de Design and the École Supérieur de Mode de Montréal. She has recently been appointed Head of the Design, Mode, Accessoires & Bijou section of the Haute Ecole d’art et de Design Genève, in Geneva, Switzerland.
