About WEAR IS ART: A city redefined several times in the last century, Berlin is an unparalleled example of the reflexive relationship between artist ingenuity and the society from which creativeness is derived. Berlin’s turbulent modern history has marked it as a place of eternal renewal, where starting over is not only possible but essential. This legacy of perpetual motion has attracted artists and designers to Berlin for decades.
Honoring this unique dynamism, "WEAR IS ART" presents original works exemplifying how fine art transcends white walls and gilded frames into a fashionable style. From a Flamenco dress of interactive LED lights to a modern Victorian ensemble topped with a soaring headdress of shot glasses to a gown comprised of over 15,000 rubber bands to a projected outfit – WEAR IS ART includes new works that re-envision subject matter, mediums and styles of tomorrow’s visual culture.

"TRIBAL BAROQUE" a “DAMTATAC”® Production

in collaboration with Tata Christiane Couture and Katya Bochavar Textile Art
(7:30 – 9pm)
Daria Marchik was selected to create a site specific piece for the WEAR IS ART exhibit and to curate a very special Vernissage event. Her art installations embody WEAR IS ART’s concept to create a refreshing platform that reflects a society which embraces many art forms. Together with Tata Christiane and Katya Bochavar, Marchik has produced an extraordinary event for Wear Is Art’s Vernissage encapsulating indulgence and exploration. An amalgamation of Berlin's androgynous core and deviant sexuality, Huxley's future and tribal rituals, the dark cover of night and neon light, their program of live performance is an impromptu encounter of physical and metaphysical human nature.
