Miuccia Prada: the Queen of Art

<p><strong>http://www.hotefashion.com/prada-handbags.html” title=”handbags”><strong>Miuccia Prada</strong></a> becomes the queen of art by means of a talented mind. Together with her husband, they build up the Prada Art fund which represents her intelligent mind.
Prada is one of the most famous fashion workshops in the world, however, it is not just a fashion workshop, and instead, it becomes a kind of art under the control of Muccia Prada. Suzy Menkes, the International Herald Tribune’s fashion editor, says: “Miuccia captures the Zeitgeist. She is conceptual fashion person who realizes which way the wind is blowing.”

<p><strong>http://www.hotefashion.com/prada-handbags.html” title=”handbags”><strong>Miuccia Prada</strong></a> and her husband Patrizio Bertelli built up Fondazione Prada. For many years, this project has attracted a great number of designers and artists. In 1997, the photographic artist Andreas Gursky produced a series of sleek images of details of Prada stores. Then in 2005, the Scandinavian duo Elmgreen & Dragset made a Prada store (unauthorised, and with no sales) in the middle of the desert at Marfa, Texas. Now the Chinese artist Cao Fei, who specialises in installations about consumerism, wants to open a fake Prada factory in China. “A brilliant idea,” says Ms Prada, “but one could be dangerous for the firm because the question of fakes is a hot topic”.
She was educated in the revolutionary 1960s and 1970s to be an intellectual at a time when the Italian intelligentsia was almost exclusively left wing. No surprise, therefore, that she was a communist and a feminist. It also explains why she does not hang out with celebs; she is simply too cultivated and too grand for them to add anything to her life.

<p><strong>http://www.hotefashion.com/prada-handbags.html” title=”handbags”><strong>Miuccia Prada</strong></a> had been learning mime with the Teatro Piccolo of Milan for five years when she was called to enter the firm, aged 29. She says she now realises that the world of fashion, despite its absurdity, does contain many open-minded and creative people. She used to be annoyed when intellectuals sneered at Prada’s involvement in art, which began in 1993. “Now I’m very interested in the power of brands, of celebrity, in the absurdity and scandals of that world, because I realize that I can play on many levels, for if culture isn’t appealing, it has no impact. When it’s too high-faulting and fails to communicate with young and ordinary people, it’s equivalent to not speaking at all.”
Love fashion!

Tail lights – a symphony of science and art
There are many components that make up your car. Thousands of them. But in very few of them do art and science combine so well together as they do in the tail lights. And though initially tail lights had little science and even lesser amount of art in them today they can be on a display in an art gallery or a science museum. Initially of course tail lamps were mere lights at the tail doing a very basic job of announcing your car’s presence on the road at night time. But as car’s grew faster the need for better visibility from a greater distance arose and as traffic increased other necessities such as brake lights, reflectors and turn signals emerged. All of these are lights and have a specific function to perform. And science delivered lighting options whose intensity could vary and which could be tuned off and on quickly.
But when you will look at a car’s tail lights you will not find them to be like a very scientific piece of equipment that have come straight from a lab. Instead they appear more to be works of modern art that give your a glimpse of the shape of the future things to come. The reason for this is that all the technology is concealed under a carefully conceptualized look and design of the tail lights done by some of the worlds best designers and stylists. The tail lights benefit from this because the exceptional design makes them more noticeable and being noticed is what the basic function of the tail lights is about.

Digital Signage and Art ? a modern medium
While we are all familiar with digital out of home (Dooh) and outdoor digital signage used for marketing, branding, promotion, advertising and information, there are other far less utilitarian uses for digital screens.
With the rise of touch screen and tablet computers like the iPad, digital signage is being used in the art world – not only to display artists work, but also to create it. This has proved a fantastic medium for displaying and creating art and has even been taken up by some of the big names in the art world.
David Hockney, the celebrated British artist, has embraced this technology as a way of enabling him to create works and distribute it – doing away with galleries, printing and allowing the artist to get instant responses and critiques to the work.
Hockney, a septuagenarian, has experimented with digital technology for a long time but has said it is only recently that the speed of computing has allowed work to be created digitally as well as being displayed.
And Hockney isn’t the only one. British stately home Chatsworth House has introduced digital signage and digitally designed work in its art collections. Created by another British artist Michael Craig-Martin, a contemporary conceptual artist, created a digital black line portrait of Laura Burlington, the present Lady Burlington, which was commissioned by Lord Burlington.
The digital signage is used not just to display the portrait but to also transform the line portrait into coloured images. The areas of the image is divided into nine different areas and the digital signage software places different colours into these areas every few seconds, meaning the portrait changes continually and is never the same.
