Included is New York and Los Angeles based label <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/client\/eckhaus-latta\">Eckhaus Latta<\/a> whose brand was founded in 2011 by Rhode Island School of Design-graduates <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/eckhaus-latta\">Mike Eckhaus and Zoe Latta<\/a>. Collections later, the downtown-cool label has established itself as a New York Fashion Week fixture complete with devoted followers beyond the gamut of an emerging designer per se. Going to a show one can expect Mike and Zoe to swap convention with more thoughtful, experimental articulations when it comes to fabrics used, gender binaries and casting.  Now the Whitney Museum of American Art is to recognize their work by way of incorporating Eckhaus Latta in the museum\u2019s emerging artist series. <a href=\"https:\/\/whitney.org\/exhibitions\/eckhaus-latta\">\u201cEckahus Latta: Possessed\u201d<\/a> is to occupy the John R. Eckek, Jr. Foundation gallery on the first floor from August 3rd to October 8th. It will be the pairs first solo exhibition to date (Their brand has been included in Greater New York 2015 at MoMA PS1 and Made in L.A. 2016 at the Hammer Museum in LA), and the first solo fashion exhibition the museum has put on in 21 years, a markedly big deal for a fashion brand seven-years of age. <\/p>\n<div class=\"centerimg\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2018\/06\/EL-CCTV.jpg\"  data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2018\/06\/EL-CCTV.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"843\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-107285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2018\/06\/EL-CCTV.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2018\/06\/EL-CCTV-640x360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2018\/06\/EL-CCTV-1280x719.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2018\/06\/EL-CCTV-900x506.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cAs part of the Whitney\u2019s emerging artist program, we sometimes showcase creative figures outside of the visual arts,\u201d said Christopher Y. Lew, Nancy and Fred Poses Associate Curator, co-organizer with Lauri London Freedman head of product development said in a press release, continuing, \u201cThese figures from fields such as fashion, music, architecture, design, and food approach their discipline in ways that are akin to visual artists, often questioning the systems and parameters that define what they do, speaking to the broader cultural moment, and blurring the boundaries between disciplines.\u201d The exhibition\u2019s three parts explore facets of the fashion industry, advertising, the consumer experience and voyeurism. The main section of the exhibition is an operational retail environment where visitors can actually purchase pieces, which is bound to raise artworld eyebrows when consumerism and sacred art spaces so closely fraternize, but Freedman says, \u201cThey pushed us to ask broader questions such as \u201cHow can we reexamine the format of an exhibition?\u2019 and \u2018What is the best to exhibit an artist\u2019s work?\u201d At the entrance photographs that play on tropes of iconic photoshoots in fashion and advertisements will be displayed and the last room plays as a mock security office giving the visitor a look intro tracking and surveillance as part of the shopping experience. Everything in the space from clothing racks to display shelves is made in collaboration with numerous artists that the designers have been in dialogue with. <\/p>\n<p>If Eckhaus Latta wins the LVMH Prize it would mean a 300,000 euro grant and assistance in the development of their company over a period of twelve months from the Foundation. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2018\/06\/KNIT-SWEATER-WHITNEY.jpg\"  data-rel=\"lightbox-image-2\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2018\/06\/KNIT-SWEATER-WHITNEY.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1863\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-107283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2018\/06\/KNIT-SWEATER-WHITNEY.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2018\/06\/KNIT-SWEATER-WHITNEY-515x640.jpg 515w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2018\/06\/KNIT-SWEATER-WHITNEY-1031x1280.jpg 1031w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2018\/06\/KNIT-SWEATER-WHITNEY-900x1118.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--pp-thumb-start--><!--PictPress found no dir \/2018\/06\/107281--><!--pp-thumb-end--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And yes, you&#8217;ll be able to shop the brand <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":443,"featured_media":107570,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10414,2],"tags":[10987],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107281"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/443"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=107281"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107281\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":107569,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107281\/revisions\/107569"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/107570"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=107281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=107281"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=107281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
