Jim Lambie's take on the TOD'S D bag The fashion, film and art worlds collided in style last night for the TOD'S Art Plus Film Party extravaganza, an annual fundraising celebration organized by the Whitechapel Art Gallery, this year staged in a former church on Marylebone Road in London.
The highlight of the evening was the premiere of Solo, a specially commissioned short film by acclaimed international video-artist Christian Marclay featuring an electric guitar and a female subject (actress Tree Carr) who gradually disrobes while simultaneously playing the instrument with her body and her clothes.
The signed Fender Stratocaster guitar, along with a specially designed TOD'S handbag by Jim Lambie were on offer to guests throughout the evening via a silent auction. TOD'S CEO and founder Diego Della Valle told us he was delighted with the Jim Lambie creation and is already thinking of collaborating on fashion projects with other artists in the future.
Also up for grabs to bidders was a limited edition piece by sculptor Anish Kapoor and various works by artists like David Batchelor and Jonathan Monk, which were all on display. Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys played DJ along with celebrity spinners Andrew Weatherall, Rob Marmot and Sam Young, while Brazilian singer Cibelle performed, ensuring that, in art as in science, fusion happens with a bang.
