Autorica nam ovom prigodom donosi svoj pogled na shopping groznicu velikih europskih centara.
Radeći dvije godine kao stilistica za neke od predstavnika visoke mode u Londonu ( Issey Miyake ) kroz rad s klijentima, autorica se upoznala s konzumerizmom visoke mode te skupila pregršt naizgled usputnih, osobnih prča različitih profila potrošača.
Priče o ženama potrošačicama, centralna su tema izložbe «Shop till you drop» (ili « Kupuj dok se ne srušiš»).
Autorica na platna postavlja kartonske lutke ( karikature stvarnih žena/klijentica ) obješene konopcem kao marionete.
Lutke su crtane jednostavno i dječje, a priče pisane satirično i s namjernim gramatičkim pogreškama.
Sve to izgleda kao zadaćnica da bi se dočarao svijet koji nije odrastao. Platna su slikana crnim indijskim čajem i isključivo bijelom bojom koja naglašava prazninu.
Odjeća lutaka rađena je od slika šopinga i postavljana u celofan koji predstavlja izlog butika.
Za glazbeni dio večeri zadužen je Dj Červar iz Opatije.
Maja Radešić rođena je u Puli 1980. Diplomirala je na «Akademiji Primijenjenih Umjetnosti» u Rijeci. Specijalizirala je Grafičko Slikarstvo.
Održala je nekoliko skupnih i samostalnih izložbi u Rijeci i Puli, te u Londonu 2007. Bavi se i ilustracijama. (I. R.)
On this occasion the author will present her view of shopping rush in great European centres.
Radešić has worked for two years in London as a stylist for some important fashion figures (Issey Miyake). Through her contact with clients, she has collected personal stories of different profiles and has got in touch with the consumerism present in the world of high fashion.
Stories about women – buyers are the central topic of the exhibition «Shop till you drop». The author presents cardboard figures (caricatures of real women and clients) which are hanging on strings like puppets. The marionettes are painted in a simple, childish manner, and the stories are written satirically, with intentional grammatical mistakes.
The exhibition looks like a school notebook in order to depict a world which is still immature and childish. With the aim to emphasize the emptiness, the author painted the canvases black and white. Puppets are dressed in clothes made of pictures representing the act of shopping and are wrapped in cellophane, which represents shop windows.
The music background will be arranged by DJ Červar from Opatija.
Maja Radešić was born in Puli in 1980. She graduated from the Academy of Applied Arts in Rijeka and specialized in graphic painting. Radešić has staged several joint and solo exhibitions in Rijeka, Pula and London (2007). She also engages in illustration.
