“Fantasia” at Spoke Art San Francisco.

Opening Saturday, November 3rd, 2018 at Spoke Art Gallery in San Francisco, California is the group exhibition curated by Paintguide entitled “Fantasia.”

In music, “fantasia” refers to a composition incorporating different styles, which are often improvised. Artists were given creative freedom with only one restriction, keep the work within a 12 x 12 inch space. The dimensional uniformity mirrors the presentation of images on Instagram where artworks must grab the viewer’s attention without the hubris of size, context and setting.

The online platform’s influence on art through wide dissemination is undeniable. Teddy Chan, Creative Director of Paintguide and exhibition curator, cites Walter Benjamin’s ‘The Work of Art in the Mechanical Age of Reproduction’, “the near-perfect reproducibility of images in the modern age diminishes the artwork’s ‘aura’ or unique presence in time and space. This emancipates art from the religious or private hierarchies that often determine our response to the work.” The communalization of imagery poses challenges in viewers increasingly limited attention or contemplation of artworks. Paintguide strives to create a virtual salon, providing space for conversations and the sharing of ideas.

The exhibition features over 40 international artists, for more details please follow this link.

Margaret Howell spring/summer 1992, photographed by Koto Bolofo.

In this gentle fashion image, Margaret Howell’s tailored navy shorts resemble those worn in the 1930s. Her clothes blend memories of England with the pleasure of wearing worn-in country clothes. The look was revolutionary when she began in the early 1970s, inspired by nostalgic icons of British style, such as brogues, gymslips, sturdy tweed skirts and her father’s gardening mac hanging on the back of a door. Howell’s menswear and womenswear collections were launched in 1972, with an emphasis on tailoring. Howell has been so copied, it almost obscures her contribution but her linen duster coats, shirt dresses, floor-sweeping raincoats and tweed suits for women have an enduring appeal. ‘When I started out, I was only thinking about what I wanted,’ she told Vogue. ‘I liked quality and comfort … I was probably responsible for the move towards using men’s tailoring tweeds for women’s clothes.’

—Phaidon Editors, 1998
