The Modern Institute
The Modern Institute presented an historical show by British artist Duggie Fields.
Fields’ world combined elements from disparate cultural and historical vocabularies, drawing on imagery from classical and popular culture to inform his own cohesive signature style.
With a life that is very much intertwined with his creative output, Fields inspired Rei Kawakubo, he featured in a Shiseido Corporation advertising campaign and was a cultural icon in Japan during the 1980s. Fields’ exhibition recreated the artist’s personal environment, collaging seminal works with new ones alongside video and sound pieces.
