Relationship between 1960s art, fashion and cinema investigated in exhibition
Across four distinct rooms, the exhibition juxtaposes iconic artefacts of that decade with contemporary works
BLOW-UP, a major new exhibition exploring the transformative relationship between art, fashion, and cinema from the 1960s to today opened at Spazju Kreattiv on Saturday. Presented by City of Art, the exhibition examines how, over the past six decades, image-making has evolved from documenting reality to actively shaping and distorting it.
Taking its title from Michelangelo Antonioni’s masterpiece Blow-Up, the exhibition reflects on how cinema once mirrored the world around it, but now, in an era of hyper-visual culture, images themselves define our perception of truth.
Across four distinct rooms, the exhibition juxtaposes iconic artefacts of the 1960s with contemporary works, posing Antonioni’s enduring question: is all that remains of the real that which resists being seen?
The exhibition runs until January 4. For more information, log on to the Spazju Kreattiv website.
