IFAD exhibitions review
Today I went to the
IFAD show which was the students who studied international foundation Art &
Design in UCA.
Because
my major is fashion design, so I saw fashion work first. This one is created by
a pretty Chinese girl- Coco whose study fashion textile. When the first time I
saw her work, I felt it is quite simple, but when I have a look for her
sketchbook I was change my mind.
She used different ways
and materials to creative her conception and extend idea. Coco’s final piece as
three garments want to be a tough and strong woman, but her also loves dramatic
costumes. Therefore her final outcome is demonstrating about power and
structure, which was two crucial elements she most admire and desire, thus she
decided to include them in her final garment. In being a woman. Eugene
Delacroix painting ‘Liberty Leading the People’ which was about the July
Revolution 1830 in France inspired Coco’s collection. And also connect with the
historical painting in Romanticism.
“I want to create my own style, dramatic but yet powerful.” Coco said.

art review(bibligraphy)
Roberta Breitmore(Lynn
Hershman Leeson 1970-1979)
In the 1970s, specifically from 1973 to 1978, Roberta
Breitmore was her major creation. Roberta Breitmore is a persona Hershman
adopted over several years, enacting the transformation with wigs, make-up and
clothing. With the addition of a little bureaucratic validation (driver's
licence, credit cards, address and bank account, psychological profile, etc.),
the fictional character became practically real, spilling over from fiction
into reality. Today nothing remains to indicate her existence apart from a few
artifacts: diary, letters, photographs and diverse documents. “The work itself
consisted essentially of Roberta's experiences. Roberta Breitmore let
Hershman highlight several feminist problematics, such as the way the social
and cultural environment constructs women's identities, and how women are
victims of the structures and conditioning imposed on them.” According to San Francisco(2006). In 1978, rather than committing suicide (as
the artist had planned), Roberta ended her days during an exorcism at the grave
of Lucrezia Borgia in Ferrara, Italy.On the other hand,
It also signifies the transformation
of Roberta from passive to active, and as Hershman’s hoped, Roberta from victim
to victor.
