Archivist Addendum First Edition
A collection of works by Archivist Addendum, a publishing project based in London.
Archivist Addendum was founded in 2020 by fashion director Jane Howard and writer Dal Chodha. We aim to explore new expressive possibilities between the stylized fashion editorial and the difficult academic realm, without being influenced by common sense such as formats and seasons that are considered important in the world of fashion magazines.
In this first publication, Rebecca Arnold, of the Courtauld Institute of Art, University of London, and Judith Clark, of the London College of Fashion, University of the Arts London. (Judith Clark), an international and interdisciplinary project, "Fashion Interpretations: Dress, Medium & Meaning". As its title suggests, it focuses on the relationship between clothing, media, meaning, and society.
Online ephemera focused on the aesthetics of used clothes, postcards that convert fashion photos into drawings, an archive collection of the fashion label "BLAAK" active from 1998 to 2012, and an idea board. From approaches to visual aspects such as printed A1 size posters, Claude Lévi-Strauss's essay on snapshots taken in São Paulo around 1935 as a study of cities and citizens, and , the relevance of exhibition production and medium, to academic explorations such as essays exploring the dual meaning of exhibition production, the box contains a number of fragments of research done literally through various formats.
In addition to fashion editorial and academicism, this is an ambitious work that explores an alternative realm between fashion magazines and artist books.
Limited to 150 copies, numbered.
