If you are in Arezzo [Tuscany] here is an exhibition to cheer you up: if you pop into the upmarket menswear shop, 鈥淪ugar鈥 you can see a display of pop-up 鈥渁rt stars鈥, three-dimensional stars created by contemporary European artists.
A similar show at the Lazzari shop in Treviso [Veneto] opens today with pop-up stars created by the Italian artist , the Paris street artist l鈥橝TLAS and the surrealist Spanish artist Okuda. Lazzarri is an interesting store housed in a thirteenth century building.
鈥淎rt stars鈥 is the inspiration of Polo Jeans Co. Ralph Lauren and showcases the work of fifty of Europe鈥檚 most recognised new artists in Polo jeans stores across Europe. The theme of the stars is the United States flag and the artists were asked to create their stars using a variety of materials such as American denim and replicas of the flag. They used techniques such as bleaching, dying and embroidery.
Don鈥檛 worry if you cannot catch the exhibitions in 天美传媒 as all the stars will be shown in London at the end of the year.
