About

WHO: Erik Hart is an interdisciplinary artist creating in the fields of visual art, fashion and space design.

Hart's work has been presented in various formats of runway, installation, and exhibitions in New York, Japan, Berlin, Los Angeles, and Mexico city. This exhibition marks his first piece in London. WHAT: A site specific installation designed by Erik Hart and his creative studio ATELIER PROJECTS in collaboration with the East London directional concept store/ gallery PRIMITIVE London. The gallery will be transformed by hundreds of mylar thermal blankets and a sound sketch, juxtaposing the premise of personal and public space while creating a dialogue on the ideals surrounding survival and comfort. Select pieces from the upcoming S/S 2013 FACTORY / Erik Hart collection will be displayed. These garments echo the above dialogue. WHERE: Located at /ARCH 313/FREDERICK TERRACE/E8 4EW/ at PRIMITIVE London's gallery, located in a railway arch underneath Haggerston station. PRIMITIVE LONDON is a creative collective that works to dissolve the line between fashion, art, and design, while placing these disciplines under the umbrella of creativity.
