Birdhead for Bottega Veneta

The Bottega Veneta boutique of the Yifeng Gallery in Shanghai will be hosting the “Solo exhibition of Birdhead” up until the end of March, overseen by Gu Zheng.

Tomas Maier, Creative Director of the fashion house, believes this exhibition “stimulates thought, not only highlighting the power and intrigue of photography, but subtly examining the role of craftsmanship in relation to the artists’ work”, a deep-seated value which Bottega Veneta has constantly upheld.

This is the fifth exhibition held at the gallery, located on the second floor of the boutique, a space where Bottega Veneta intends to emphasise the tight bond between the works of art and their clients, as well as the company’s sensitivity towards social issues. 

The latest works of Birdhead, the creative duo from Shanghai, look into the craft element of being a photographer. Hosted by the Venice Biennale in 2011 and by a group exhibition at the MoMA in New York in 2012, their works explore the relationship between the material (the daily urban reality of Shanghai which populates their shots) and the spiritual.
