Solo
exhibition Claudy Jongstra at Moss
Partly primitive,
partly animal, part magic, the felt textiles of Claudy Jongstra
are unique in their rough sophistication. Some seem to come
straight from the back of the beast, others are worked with
a finesse that makes them a statement in raw elegance. For Jongstra
uses only raw materials - wild silk, wild linen, wild camel,
wild cashmere and especially wild wool - which she then felts
and treats with original techniques that result in some of the
most creative fabrics ever seen. Felt is her instinctive fabric,
one she never tires of reinventing for clients as varied as
Christian Lacroix, Donna Karan, John Galliano, SO by Alexander
van Slobbe, Hella Jongerius, Steven Holl and many others. This
will be Jongstra's first solo exhibition in the United States.
Booklaunch
MOSS will also be the US launch location of Matter and Meaning,
the first publication about Claudy, who will be available to
sign during opening night, Thursday, September 8, 2005 7-9 PM.
