This ARTFORUM weekend is the last chance to see HELMUT LANG's

Helmut Lang’s digitized fashion archive. Of the 10,000 items of Lang’s design
that have been photographed and archived over the past four years,
3,000 were selected to be included in a video documenting his work in fashion,
spanning a period of nearly two decades – and, simultaneously, embodying
his creative role at the crossroads of fashion and art.
Helmut Lang was born in Vienna, Austria in 1956. In 2005, he left the Helmut Lang l
abel and began devoting himself to research and practice in the arts, having
already collaborated with artists such as Louise Bourgeois and Jenny Holzer.
“Alles gleich schwer,” his first institutional solo exhibition, premiered on August 29th,
2008, at Hannover’s kestnergesellschaft, where it will run until November 2nd.
Lang currently lives and works in New York City and Long Island.

Artist of the day - Laura Splan
Extreme embroidery
I think this is a great example of the dramatic changes in textile art around the world. I hope that this old craftmanship get the chance to be created more and more in Sweden, I mean the craftmanship is very old and we need young artists who could see this again and try to develope this way of expression and making art.
