fashion heroines: 2ND EDITION OF CREATIVE LAB SIGNED BY TENENTE - MUDE – DESIGN AND FASHION MUSEUM. FRANCISCO CAPELO COLLECTION

As I promised you I went to the MUDE - Fashion and Design Museum, in Lisbon, to see the Jose António Tenente Exhibition " Signed by Tenente". This exposition has two sections, the 1st of which is part of the permanent exhibition, while the 2nd section is on the 2nd floor of the museum.

The Signed by Tenente project started when the designer José António Tenente was invited to commission the exhibition, and in which the creator offers his perspective of the MUDE’s collection and, in particular, of Francisco Capelo’s Fashion Collection.

About the exhibition Jose Antonio Tenente said: " Starting with Bárbara Coutinho’s proposal to disclose my creative process, and given the exciting possibility of being able to relate with the universe of MUDE’s fashion collection, it seemed inevitable to me that I should focus on fashion references, one of the important components of my work method, and which, forming part of a whole, appeal directly or indirectly to other areas of art.”

Until the 30th of January 2011, on floors 0 and 2 of the MUDE, we will have the great opportunity to come into contact with José António Tenente’s universe and creative process, besides gaining another perspective and interpretation of the MUDE’s own collection.

During the 2nd edition of this creative lab, the following events will also take place in the MUDE:

25 November
19h
Launch of the object-book on the creative process, presented by Bárbara Coutinho and Anabela Mota Ribeiro

27 January
19h
Presentation of José António Tenente’s 2011 Spring Summer Collection

Tal como vos prometi fui visitar a exposição "Assinado por Tenente" no MUDE - Museu de design e moda, que reabriu no passado Sábado, dia 8 do corrente, após as recentes cheias da Baixa de Lisboa. Esta exposição é constituída por dois núcleos, o 1º núcleo integra-se na exposição permanente, e o 2º núcleo, no piso 2 do museu.

O projectoAssinado por Tenente resulta de um convite dirigido ao criador José António Tenente para comissariar a exposição, onde o criador se propõe transpor o seu olhar sobre a colecção do MUDE e, em particular, sobre o acervo de moda da Colecção Francisco Capelo.

Nas palavras de José Antonio Tenente: “Partindo do repto de Bárbara Coutinho de dar a conhecer o meu processo criativo, e perante a possibilidade entusiasmante de o poder relacionar com o universo da colecção de moda do MUDE, pareceu-me inevitável privilegiar as referências de moda, uma das componentes importantes do meu método de trabalho, e que fazendo parte de um todo, remetem directa ou indirectamente para outras disciplinas.”
Até dia 30 de Janeiro 2011, no piso 0 e 2 do MUDE, não perca a oportunidade de contactar com o universo e processo criativo de José António Tenente, e de, assim, obter uma maior perspectiva e uma nova leitura sobre a fantástica colecção do MUDE.

19h
Lançamento do objecto-livro sobre o processo criativo, com apresentação de Bárbara Coutinho e Anabela Mota Ribeiro
