Meet the Maker #2 - FASHIONCLASH Festival 2015

Meet the Maker #1 

Meet the Maker #2 in collaboration with Bureau Europa 
June 13 13:00 - 17:00 in the context of FASHIONCLASH Festival 2015

Last year, Bureau Europa and Studio Noto successfully started a new concept called Meet the Maker, a platform for presenting work of young designers and performers to a select group of interested professionals.

Additional to the collaboration with Studio Noto the next edition will be organised together with FASHIONCLASH Maastricht.

For this special edition of Meet the Maker, five artists have been selected to present an object, project or performance to a (transdis- ciplinary) group of interested parties and then talk about their works and performances while having lunch together in a special setting.

The works and performances that will be pre- sented have to be related to this year's theme of the FASHIONCLASH Festival: Gender. The works do not necessarily have to be created for this event. Artists are free to choose work which is even incomplete or in the making, as long as it links with the theme. The challenge is to choose a artwork or performance and give the reason for this particular choice. The audience is considered as being participants themselves that enter into a dialogue with the makers. After the short presentations, there will be food and discussion in an informal setting.

Meet the Maker #2  Participants: Casper Wortman, Miglė Nevieraitė, Matthijs Holland, Anne Marie Borsboom and Dario Tortorelli.

Meet the Maker #1 -  Dutsy Thomas

With Meet the Maker Bureau Europa aims to provide a platform for encounters between creators, thinkers, and designers from the Euregio. The drain of young (design) talent is a known issue in the Euregio. The lack of a good (cultural) infrastructure plays an important role in this problem. It is crucial for talent to experience connectedness through creating networks and cultural careers. Such experiences begin with a meeting: therefore, every six months, Bureau Europa wants to of- fer space for a weekend of such meetings.

Because this edition is organised in collaboration with FASHIONCLASH the event will be part of the press tour of the FASHIONCLASH festival. That means that a lot of professional journalists and bloggers will join the event. Then subsequently, during the rest of the day, Bureau Europa is accessible for everybody to make sure that the works can be seen by a broad audience.

Meet the Maker is an initiative of Bureau Europa and Studio Noto.

Luca Szymkowiak at Marres during FASHIONCLASH Festival

Luca Szymkowiak performance and video installation at Marres during FASHIONCLASH Festival 2015 

The FASHIONCLASH Festival 2015 is happening in less than one month. Next to the main program including fashion shows, exhibition and market in the SAMdecorfabriek, you can enjoy various pop-up-stores, performances, talks and exhibitions.

Performance artist Luca Szymkowiak presents her two-fold graduation piece during FASHIONCLASH Festival 2015.
 The piece consists of a video installation - What are they doon here? - and a live performance - In the Milky Ways of eternity. 
What are they doon here? and In the Milky Ways of eternity question gravity and identity. Luca clearly remembers her first encounter with the nature of the galaxy. When walking in the woods with a friend after a geography lesson, she realised the concept ‘galaxy’ created an inconceivable vacuum in her brain. Its elusive nature became a trigger to strip all concepts of their premises and to start shaping the formless. In her most recent piece, Luca proposes a new definition for nothing.

Concept: Luca Szymkowiak

Costumes, video: Luca Szymkowiak

Construction: Luca Szymkowiak + Trimet Sound: Jimi Zoet

Both pieces are performed by Urland: Ludwig Bindervoet, Marijn de Jong, Thomas Dudkiewicz, Jimi Zoet (www.urland.nl) 

Thanks to Stichting FASHIONCLASH, Stichting Edmond Hustinx, Trimet, Hannah De Meyer, Peter Missotten and many others.

Luca Szymkowiak is graduating student from Toneelacademie Maastricht (Theatre academy Maastricht)

FASHIONCLASH side program: "Fashion frictions" by the Fitting Room Projects

The “Fashion Frictions” by the Fitting Room Projects will be featured in the side program of the 2014 edition of the FASHIONCLASH Festival. Taking on the challenge of representing the increasing number of fashion installations where the subject and not the object prevails, fashion theorist Anna Elisabeth Kruyswijk formulated a sequential project line for collaborative test-cases.

FASHIONCLASH Side Program: OFF STRAND

This year, the FASHIONCLASH Festival offers a long list of activities taking place in the whole city of Maastricht in its “side program.” One of those is the pop-up store OFF Strand, that will be located in the Mosae Forum from the 12th until the 15th of June.

OFF Strand is an independent initiative to create a collective pop-up showcase for young London based fashion, jewellery and accessories designers. Its aim is to offer a place in which designers, bloggers and the general public can meet and communicate. At the pop-up store in the Mosae Forum, the designers will present their current collections that will be available both for purchase and pre-order. We were lucky to get an interview with Anna Pitchouguina, one of the two founders of OFF STRAND.

Hi! Please introduce yourself. Who are you? Where do you come from? What do you do?

I am from Russia, but I grew up in Poland. Emanuele Copioli, the other person behind OFF Strand, is from Italy. We both live in London. I am a fashion designer while he is a graphic and creative mind. So, we are a great team to start up such a project. We both work on numerous projects at all times and OFF Strand is definitely one of our favorites at the moment.

H O W L by Maria Glück

By Christoph Neumann

Maria Glück is from Bilbao, Spain, but lives in Berlin. She studied Fine Arts and specialized in sculpture. Eventually, she decided to follow the path of fashion. Her label H O W L by Maria Glück was founded in Berlin and offers menswear and womenswear with a sustainable approach. Her collection will be presented during the fashion shows, the Designer Market and the side program.

Hello Maria! What inspires you in general? 
Everything! Sometimes the most unexpected things. I guess that being so much of a city-neurotic, nature references always play a big role at the beginning of my collections. This is also because I have a great attraction to raw, basic and essential materials (not necessary textiles).

What place or city do you find inspiring? 
Any place, but I guess that where I live and work (Berlin) impregnates the character of how I work, and how my collections shape up. In any case, sometimes it’s a new thing that catches my eye, or a new book or city. But often it’s actually what is always there, day-to-day, which at some point gets all my attention as if I’d re-discover it.
