Tailored jacket (series - four works)

Research Background The Future of Fashion is Now (TFOFIN) was the follow-up exhibition to The Art of Fashion (2009). Initiated by leaders in the industry Han Nefkens' Fashion on the Edge & Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam, TFOFIN 2014-2015 brought together fashion designers and artists specifically from nonwestern backgrounds or 'regions which have very little fashion tradition', to highlight new practice, research modernisation, developing fashion practice, as well as fashion systems. TFOFIN was a comprehensive and defining exhibition of designers and artists shaping fashion as a practice, system and in materiality. Contribution Four tailored jackets, from the Dissolvable Garments Series by Interlandi, was selected by an international jury and scouts renowned in the fashion industry. Interlandi's work was selected as representative of new practice under the 'Materiality and Experience' themed section of the exhibition. The original work created in 2011-2012 investigated clothing and rituals for dressing the deceased, in ephemeral and highly degradable materials to expand the idea of fashion, and represented novel approaches to degradable materials through the use of fragile, non-woven Sol-u-web (poly vinyl alcohol). The dissolvable fabrication in which the jackets were constructed sought to explore a range of analogies of death and disintegration within design as well as opening up new discussion around clothing as a second skin, and clothing as a 'utensil' for communication (Harvey, 2008). Significance Within the context of this theme and exhibition, the selected works address the 'new meaning[s] being generated by innovative production processes' (Teneussen, 2014) and questions the assumptions we have around the longevity and durability of fashion and the body. The exhibition was highly publicised with an indepth catalogue accompanying the exhibition and mobile app. The exhibition has continued touring on to Shanghai at OCT Contemporary Art Terminal.

研究背景：《时尚的未来已然降临》（The Future of Fashion is Now，简称TFOFIN）是《时尚艺术》（2009）的后续展览。该展览由行业领军者韩·内夫肯斯（Han Nefkens）的「时尚边缘」项目与鹿特丹博伊曼斯·范·伯宁恩博物馆（Museum Boijmans van Beuningen）联合发起，2014-2015届的TFOFIN邀约了来自非西方背景或「时尚传统薄弱地区」的时装设计师与艺术家齐聚一堂，以彰显新兴创作实践、研究现代化进程、推动时装创作发展并完善时装系统。TFOFIN是一场兼具全面性与里程碑意义的展览，聚焦于将时装作为一种创作实践、系统与物质性进行塑造的设计师与艺术家。

参展作品：来自因特尔兰迪（Interlandi）的《可溶解服饰系列》中的四件定制夹克，被国际评审团与时尚界知名遴选人士选中。因特尔兰迪的作品被选为展览「物质性与体验」主题板块的新兴实践代表作品。该原创作品创作于2011-2012年，围绕为逝者着装的服饰与相关仪式展开研究，采用易逝且高度可降解的材料以拓展时装的概念边界，并通过使用脆弱的非织造Sol-u-web（聚乙烯醇）材料，为可降解材料的应用提供了全新创作路径。该夹克所采用的可溶解面料制作工艺，旨在探索设计领域中死亡与解构的多重类比意象，同时围绕「服饰作为第二肌肤」以及「服饰作为沟通工具」（Harvey，2008）开辟了全新的讨论维度。

重要意义：在该展览主题与整体语境下，入选作品回应了「创新生产过程正在催生全新意义」（Teneussen，2014）这一命题，并对我们关于时装与服饰的耐用性、持久性的固有认知提出了质疑。该展览宣传力度极强，配套发行了深度研究画册与移动应用程序。本次展览后续还赴上海华侨城当代艺术中心（OCT Contemporary Art Terminal）进行巡展。
