The space is designed to reflect the animated vibrant diverse
spirit of Nicola’s art. It will be an inviting space for visitor to interact
and contribute to its multi cultural character. The space is formed by the installed 3' wide canvas bands’
with their profiles slightly changing from one another. The bands create a high pitched
ceiling at the beginning as an inviting entry and end with a widened semi flat ceiling
right before the VIP space, intended for meeting and mingling
The canvas bands are back lit, by simple light fixtures and 4
or 5 video projectors. Nicola, the artists who work with him and the visitors
are encourage to write a note or illustrate an image- preferably colorful,
graffiti sort of image with the provided transparent spray paints-on the canvas
bands which will be back lit and the colors will glow into the space. The
videos which are projected to back side of the canvas- and will also glow into
the space- can be one of Nicola’s runway shows, a Manga
cartoon or any other video or still image picked by the fashion designer.
This is an
installation for a two week time line and the temporary journey like
quality of the space will be felt by the attendees. In the course of two weeks the bands become more
and more populated by images or notes and can eventually be used in Nicola’s
permanent store in the future as a memorabilia of the two week journey of the
installation
