NOUVEAU CHRISTIANISME

SELON

SAINT SIMON

Reprenant les principes moraux du Christianisme, cette nouvelle religion, considérée plutôt comme un nouveau code moral, doit être philanthropique et devenir le fondement spirituel de la société : « aimez votre prochain comme vous-même » et « les Hommes doivent se regarder comme frères » Pour en finir avec les guerres, l'intolérance, l'égoïsme ,les inégalités, les injustices, et l'obscurantisme, Saint-Simon propose un changement de société. Il préconise une société fraternelle dont les membres les plus compétents (industriels, scientifiques, artistes, intellectuels, ingénieurs…) auraient pour tâche d'administrer la France le plus économiquement possible, afin d'en faire un pays prospère, où règneraient l'esprit d'entreprise, l'intérêt général et le bien commun, la liberté, l'égalité et la paix. Le Saint-Simonisme est parfois considéré comme la pensée fondatrice de la société industrielle française. Begüm Boré

left Raf Simons archives. rafsimons.com /// right Judith Hopf, Hey Produktion, film. 2003. Hey Produktion is based on Hopf's research into the legacy of the liberation movement. Linking 60s ideas of collective activity and social integration to contemporary counterparts, teamwork and self- management, Hopf questions the drive for productivity in contemporary society, and the search for mental relaxation and inner values. The film incorporates a choreographed dance routine that combines idiosyncratic movements originating from yoga, tai chi, and chorus-line dancing. (CUBITT). Begüm Boré

above 9/4/1615, the first solo exhibition by Maison Martin Margiela, in collaboration with Dutch Microbiologist Dr. A.W.S.M van Egeraat. Held in the glass pavillon of Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam that adjoins a rose garden and a large decorative pond , the exhibition features outfits treated with different strains of bacteria, yeast and mould, all isolated from the air and nurtured to provide varying colours and textures. Over the first five days of the exhibition these organisms develop on the clothes and, once their gestation period is complete, change the colour and aspect of the garment.

below spring/summer 2011 Raf Simons show held at Le Centorial was an homage to Martin Margiela. Le Centorial houses a glass dome designed by Gustave Eiffel, indoor walkway made of turquoise glass paving situated underneath a contemporary glass canopy.

THERE ARE FEW THINGS THAT MAKE ME AS SAD AS SEEING MY CLOTHES GET CREASED AND QUASHED IN TRAVEL BAGS AND NOTICING THAT A BELT BUCKLE HAD LEFT AN ETERNAL MARK ON MY LEATHER SHIRT LIKE COOKIE CUTTERS DO ON PLAYDOUGH WAS THE LAST STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL'S BACK. THERE WAS NO TURNING BACK, FOR IF THERE WAS,I WOULD NEVER HAVE REMOVED IT FROM THE HANGER AND IT WOULD KEEP ON BREATHING EASY AND HANGING LOOSELY LIKE THE DEAD PARTRIDGE BY JAN BAPTIST WEENIX.

THIS WAS THE LAST TIME I WAVED GOODYBYE TO MY BAGS BEFORE CONVEYOR BELTS BECAUSE NOW, WHEREVER I GO, I GO WITHOUT BAGS AND WITHOUT CLOTHES AND BUY LUXURY CLOTHES AT AIRPORTS. SOME SAY I AM BEING EXTRAVAGANT, BUT NO, HAVING LEFT ALL MY CLOTHES AT HOME, THESE NEW CLOTHES I LATER DISCARD ARE ACTUALLY NECESSITIES, NOT LUXURIES. IF I WERE TO MOVE HOUSE ONE DAY, I GUESS I WOULD LEAVE ALL MY FURNITURE HOME SO IT WOULDN'T GET DAMAGED IN TRANSPORT TRUCKS. MY BELONGINGS ARE THAT PRECIOUS. BEGÜM SEKENDIZ BORÉ, 26.04.2010
