Monday 21st March 2011 ART STARS EXHIBITS IN EUROPE!

Just one month after the kick-off of the Art Stars studio sessions, the completed works will be unveiled in several of Europe’s most exciting cities. This showcase of sixteen completed stars will be exhibited in conjunction with some very exciting events to celebrate the 2011 Art Stars project dedicated to young artists and designers.

Beginning the 21st of March, UK artist Seif Alhassani’s star entitled, The Business, will be one of the first artworks displayed at the Maison de Bonneterie in Amsterdam. Seif’s dazzling take on the concept of show business will light up the storefront of this well-known landmark later this month.

Other locations include Selfridges and Harvey Nichols in London, Oxford in Belgium, Block60 in Italy and many more!

To celebrate the launch of these exhibitions, artist and German mentor CASE will be at Illum in Copenhagen on the 6th of April with winning artists Esther Katrin Barfred and Inga Klemensen from Denmark.

CASE, who is known for his involvement in collaborative practices and worked together with Karolina Leszewska to create their star together during the sessions, has prepared a live performance for the event. The artist’s performance will reflect the concept of his and Karolina’s collaboration by working with a prepared canvas and adding nails, string, paint and other craft materials to build the Art Star into a more complex work.

Polo Jeans Co. Ralph Lauren Art Stars

Polo Jeans Co. Ralph Lauren Art Stars

In January 2010, Polo Jeans Co. Ralph Lauren commissioned over 40 of Europe’s most exciting young contemporary artists to customise stars made from the finest American denim.

With the iconic Stars and Stripes flag for inspiration, each young artist was tasked with creating something totally unique: beyond the shapes and sizes of the Art Stars, the only limit was their imaginations...

Each Art Star will appear in a Polo Jeans Co. store, before joining a public exhibition in London in late 2010.

Contemporary art and fashion aficionados will have the opportunity to own one of these exclusive Art Stars.

All the stars created will be brought together in a public exhibition in London in late 2010 and auctioned in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust.

Teenage Cancer Trust is a charity dedicated to improving the lives of young people with cancer between the ages of 13-24.

Teenagers don’t stop being teenagers because they have cancer, which is why Teenage Cancer Trust builds specialist units in NHS hospitals, staffed by teenage cancer specialists.

These units are designed for and by young people and aim to give teenage cancer patients the very best chance of a positive outcome whilst being as close as possible to normal life.

State-of-the-art facilities keep patients occupied during long, and often grueling stays, whilst bringing teenagers with cancer together so they can support each other.
