About

This season, we’re delighted to bring colour and glamour into our galleries, from the work of legendary Polaroid artist, fashion designer and stylist Maripol to sculptural installations by Clare Stephenson and video, prints and objects by Zoe Williams. Cultural production across artforms usually tends to be kept separate, but this exhibition presents fashion, art, film, photography, sculpture, jewellery and prints together.

Spring / Summer 2015 charts the iconic work of Maripol from the late 1970s right up to the present. From Fiorucci to Marc Jacobs – and from Madonna to Grace Jones, via Basquiat, Warhol and Keith Haring – Maripol has exerted a huge influence on fashion, photography and art for nearly 40 years. Born in France, but based in New York since the 1970s, Maripol is renowned for her work styling and photographing iconic figures in the 1980s art scene. We are delighted to be presenting a selection of her photographs, garments and jewellery.

The glamour and sensuality of Maripol’s work is echoed in that of artists Zoe Williams and Clare Stephenson, who will show a selection of new and recent works. Zoe Williams uses opulent materials – mother-of-pearl, silks, gold – to explore the seductive representation of luxury in contemporary culture. Spring / Summer 2015 will include her signature video work Drench. Born in Salisbury, Williams lives and works in Glasgow. Clare Stephenson will show newly-commissioned iterations of both her Venetian Cocktail Glasses and Martini Bikinis series. Stephenson was born in Newcastle and studied sculpture at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design; she lives and works in Glasgow.

DCA Shop will be selling a selection of Maripol jewellery, books and DVDs throughoutSpring / Summer 2015, and a series of events, talks, workshops and screenings accompanies the exhibition.
