They're dropping like flies!

Designers are flocking to the art world in droves!! Well, not quite, but first there was Hedi Slimane and his work and now it's Helmut Lang (who's no longer associated with the Helmut Lang brand, by the way) and his first institutional solo art exhibition Alles Gleich Schwer, to be held at the renowned kestnergesellschaft from 08.31 - 11.02.08.

"Alles Gleich Schwer is curated by Frank-Thorsten Moll and Neville Wakefield and marks Helmut Lang's move away from the physical body's articulation through clothes. Throughout the institution, new works that explore and develop the social and physical membranes between interior and exterior identities and spaces will be exhibited as well as Scéance de Travail 1993-1999, a retrospective installation originally conceived for Louise Bourgeois. Jenny Holzer. Helmut Lang".
