PATRICIA THOMA

Schöner betörender Schein

How we dress is an expression of our personality. Clothes and fashion accommodate our joy in adornment and beauty and allow us to slip into new identities. The exhibition “Beautiful beguiling shine” is about very special clothing sculptures and a complex network of relationships of transformation and deception, of private action and global interacting. The Berlin based artist, illustrator and author Patricia Thoma invites visitors to the Neu-Ulm Museum to enjoy a feast for the eyes by showing magnificent festive dresses, precious gowns and opulent chandeliers. Thoma’s art, which suggests fairy-tale wealth and pompous festivities, only turns out to be a deception at third glance: the supposedly artistic glasses of the coloured chandeliers are actually elaborately wired elements made of plastic bottles. The pretended wedding dresses are made of finely sewn and embroidered plastic and rubbish bags. The only real things are furs and sequins – and the glamorous appearance of these objects. “Beautiful beguiling shine” is aimed equally at those interested in art as well as children and their families. A workshop room designed by Patricia Thoma invites visitors to explore the material paper and become creative themselves.
