CFCL VOL.12 Collection "Knit-ware: Sculpture"

Knit-ware Sculpture CFCL continues its creative practice guided by a fundamental question: can fashion contribute to shaping a better society? As a medium that connects society and the individual wearer, clothing functions as an artwork of multiples, allowing the intentions of its maker to spread through the act of wearing. With the VOL.12 Collection, CFCL reconceives the concept of "social sculpture" proposed by Joseph Beuys, marking forty years since his passing. By bringing together social activism and art, Beuys sought to create new forms of society and expanded the de nition of art itself. Drawing from his practice, which moves across social impact, creative expression and aesthetic awareness, CFCL layers the conceptual notion of sculpture onto Knit-ware. CFCLは、服づくりを通してより良い社会を作れないか、という問いを携えてクリエイションを続けています。 社会と着る人を繋ぐメディアでもある衣服は、身に纏うことで作り手の意志を拡散するマルチプル作品のようでもあります。 VOL.12は 、没後40年となるヨーゼフ・ボイスの「社会彫刻」という概念に改めて向き合います。 社会運動とアートを結びつけ、新しい社会の創造を目指し、芸術の定義を拡張したボイス。 ソーシャル・インパクトとクリエイション、そして美意識を横断する彼の実践に学び、概念としての「彫刻」をKnit-wareに重ね合わせます。
