Democracy

Democracy
For the exhibition DEMOCRACY, fashion designer and guest curator Duran Lantink drew inspiration from the American artist Andy Warhol and provided a platform for 'outsiders' to showcase their talent, featuring works by Bea Otte, Victor Crepsley, and Lantink himself.

Creative hub
As you danced, you entered the creative hub where LeBelle dancers, dressed by the fashion designer, greeted you on two large screens. The interactive installation by the LeBelle dance group was one of the highlights of the exhibition. Alongside them, fashion designer Duran Lantink also created the Stardom Film.

The Factory
The exhibition's backdrop was a creative interpretation of Warhol's studio. In the extravagant setting in New York, Warhol welcomed both superstars and eccentric outsiders in the 1960s. The outsiders rode on the coattails of their fame.
Like Warhol, Lantink leveraged his own fame and revived Warhol's Factory with new superstars, allowing visitors to contribute to the exhibition themselves. Lantink collaborated with Jan Hoek, founder of Outsiderwear, a project where talented outsider artists collaborate with emerging or already successful fashion designers, streetwear labels, and artists.

The impressive silver hoarder installation was a collaboration between Duran Lantink, Victor Crepsley, Jacob Schwartz and Joran ter Horst. The installation is a structure composed of various found objects from the streets wrapped in silver foil. All the collages are made by Victor Crepsley.
