| Two exciting new exhibitions are opened to the public as of last week in Amsterdam. In the first place, the city's famous modern art museum the Stedelijk, is hosting "Airworld", which is all about airport and airline design. Some of the world's greatest architects have created passenger terminals, and famous designers have helped to shape the images we associate with passenger air travel: airport signs, the logos, the plastic dishes, the seats and fabric patterns, and also the uniforms for the air hostesses. And the second major exhibition to opened in Amsterdam last week is at the late Gothic Nieuwe Kerk, or New Church, on Amsterdam's main Dam square, noted as a venue for blockbuster exhibitions. For the first time, together with the Rijks museum the New Church has organized a project and it is called "Fashion DNA". Italo Rota, who has also worked for the Olympic Winter Games in Turin and for Dior, has designed this unique exhibition about identity, body and image. |
