1. Art/Wear: Sneakers x Artists
This exhibition explores the intersection of art, fashion, and commerce through artist-sneaker collaborations. As sneakers move beyond streetwear into museums and auction houses, they challenge traditional ideas of what defines art. Featuring works by artists like Basquiat, KAWS, Takashi Murakami, Virgil Abloh, and Keith Haring, the show examines sneakers as canvases, the rise of customization, and the impact of artist collabs on culture. Art/Wear invites viewers to rethink the boundaries between art, identity, and consumerism in the modern world.
