Opening High Tide
Press file and press images: High Tide

Water, sea, oceans. For centuries, they have been a major source of inspiration for artists and designers worldwide. The many faces of water and its impact on contemporary fashion and art lie at the heart of ‘High Tide’. For its latest exhibition, Musea Brugge brings together fashion and contemporary art on this scale for the first time in Bruges, conceived by fashion curator Karen Van Godtsenhoven, in a fluid and surprising dialogue.
Iconic fashion creations and leading contemporary art
The exhibition features iconic creations by designers including Dries Van Noten, Chanel, Gianni Versace, Iris van Herpen, Alexander McQueen, Jean Paul Gaultier, Olivier Theyskens, BOTTER, and Marine Serre. Major contemporary artworks are presented by artists such as Pierre et Gilles, Bill Viola, Rinus Van de Velde, Wangechi Mutu, Harmonia Rosales, Martin Parr, Dominique White, Abdul Rahman Katanani, and Otobong Nkanga. New works by Shayli Harrison (Mutani), Di Petsa, Yves Beaumont, Eyes as Big as Plates, and Gabriella Ciancimino complete this unmissable exhibition.
