What was once a vital part of a person\u2019s life is now a motionless \u2018artwork\u2019 that can no longer be worn or heard, touched, or smelled. This exhibition reanimates these objects, helping us experience them as they were originally intended\u2014with vibrancy, dynamism, and life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition features approximately 220 garments and accessories spanning four centuries, all visually connected through themes of nature, which also serves as a metaphor for the transience of fashion. Visitors will be invited to smell the aromatic histories of hats bearing floral motifs; to touch the walls of galleries that will be embossed with the embroidery of select garments; and to experience\u2014via the illusion technique known as Pepper\u2019s ghost\u2014how the \u201chobble skirt\u201d restricted women\u2019s stride in the early 20th century. Punctuating the galleries will be a series of \u201csleeping beauties\u201d\u2014garments that can no longer be dressed on mannequins due to their extreme fragility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/exhibitions\/sleeping-beauties-reawakening-fashion\">The Met<\/a>, 1000 Fifth Ave, NYC, 212-535-7710, May 10\u2013September 2, 2024<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Costume Institute\u2019s spring 2024 exhibition, Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, reactivates the sensory capacities of masterworks in the Museum\u2019s collection through first-hand research, conservation analysis, and diverse technologies\u2014from cutting-edge tools of artificial intelligence and computer-generated imagery to traditional formats of x-rays, video animation, light projection, and soundscapes.<\/p>\n<p>When an item of clothing enters the Costume Institute [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3],"tags":[9593,9592,927],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zeitgeistworld.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54793"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zeitgeistworld.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zeitgeistworld.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zeitgeistworld.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zeitgeistworld.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=54793"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.zeitgeistworld.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54793\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":54817,"href":"https:\/\/www.zeitgeistworld.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54793\/revisions\/54817"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zeitgeistworld.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=54793"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zeitgeistworld.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=54793"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zeitgeistworld.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=54793"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
