PODIUM is proud to share that Ivana Bašić is part of the major presentation ‘Iris van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses‘ at ArtScience Museum, Singapore, which marks the artist’s debut presence in Southeast Asia. The exhibition opened on 15 March 2025 (Sat) and runs through 10 August 2025.
The exhibition showcases the work of one of the most visionary fashion designers. A pioneer in her use of technologies, Iris van Herpen defies conventional norms of fashion, blending the traditional with innovative production techniques. From micro to macro, this exhibition interrogates the body in space, our identities and potential futures in a rapidly changing world. Celebrating van Herpen’s future-facing and multidisciplinary approach, this unique retrospective exhibition incorporates nine themes that combine fashion with art, design, sustainability and science.
A selection of over 140 looks and accessories by Iris van Herpen are placed in dialogue with works of contemporary art and extraordinary natural history specimens. The Singapore iteration of the exhibition features local and regional content including artefacts on loan from the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum as well as other contemporary artworks curated by the ArtScience Museum team.
