Vivienne Westwood's "GET A LIFE" exhibition is currently running at the chi K11 Art Museum in Shanghai until February 28, 2017. This exhibition, which combines fashion and art, was co-curated by the K11 Art Mall in the Shanghai New Development Area, the K11 Art Foundation, and the Vivienne Westwood team. It's a large-scale exhibition on the expansive grounds of the chi K11 Art Museum, showcasing cutting-edge fashion and environmental support. The exhibition also features works by contemporary Chinese artists, garnering attention as a groundbreaking initiative in China. Vivienne Westwood is not only known as a designer who continues to embody the avant-garde, but also as a long-time activist who has issued social messages warning against global warming and overconsumption. To convey both sides of her story, the exhibition features Vivienne Westwood's latest campaign looks, as well as rare archive collections such as "Save the Rainforest" and "Mirror the World." Other exhibits in the six-part exhibition, including hand-drawn graphics, the Greenpeace "Save the Arctic" campaign, which attracted attention by displaying photographs of 60 celebrities at London's Waterloo Station, fashion film, photography, archival prints, and illustrations, all incorporate Vivienne Westwood's philosophy and social message. Also not to be missed is an exhibition by seven Chinese artists and one art group, presented by the K11 Art Foundation, in an effort to foster new talent in China. The works, inspired by famous Chinese poems depicting utopia, resonate with Vivienne Westwood's message of constantly questioning the definitions of humanity, the natural environment, and society. Regarding the exhibition, Vivienne Westwood commented, "Our world needs more art lovers, because authentic culture is at a critical risk of disappearing. Many people are short-sighted, self-centered, and narrow-minded. Great art strives for perfection and is timeless. There is no progress in art; art is truth." Various workshops, seminars, and art-related events are scheduled to take place during the exhibition, so it is sure to be an inspiring exhibition for many people, not just fashion buffs.
