Venice: Spazio Punch – Re-visioni
exhibition. At the Spazio Punch Giudecca, until April 29, the exhibition
Re-visioni, shows the research work: The Project Inside Fashion, curated by
Gabriele Monti, of the third year graduate students from the department of
Fashion of Design and Multimedia Arts of the Universita IUAV di Venezia, Re-visioni is an exhibition that aims
to give the visitor a look at the study course of the students. The title alludes to the cerebral act of watching a second time with a different focus, to capture
details escaped in the first vision. The
revision is intended as a central point of questioning the project that a
student of fashion design faces during any workshop.

Re-visioni exhibition. The items in a study collection can be studied
up close, handled virtually dismantled. This modeling works backwards starting
from the existent, and, is a basic excersize for students who want to tackle
the discipline of fashion design.
