press: Chicago Suntimes about the esposed outfit of Christoph Broich given by Gillion Carrara

GILLION CARRARA

She is: Director of the Fashion Resource Center at the School for the Art Institute.

She donated: An afternoon ensemble by German-born designer Christoph Broich.

What attracted her to the dress: I fell in love with it because of the way it was constructed. He took white cloth and used pins to create pockets, sleeves and pleats. He steamed the garment flat and then silk screened it black. When he removed the pins, the fabric fell open to reveal areas of white. He created a pattern by concealing part of it. Those who don't love avant-garde think it's strange. Those who do, love it.

Parting with a prized possession: I wore it so much, I finally thought 'OK, people have seen me in that uniform of mine, let's give it up.'

Simultaneously, the artist’s work can be seen at Hall NMBS. The works of Christoph Broich are presented in the 'protection and art' section of the exhibition. Some of the pieces were taken from 'Dt', a project involving New York artist Jimi Dams. 'Dt' focusses on the nakedness of the artist, in this case Jimi Dams, who had to remove the clothes that protected him from the outside world. These clothes were then worked into the artworks of Christoph Broich.
