TOMMY CASH AND RICK OWENS
THE PURE AND THE DAMNED
TALLINN, ESTONIA
THE EXHIBITION AT THE KUMU ART MUSEUM IN TALLINN DISPLAYS BOTH THE INDIVIDUAL OEUVRES OF TOMMY
CASH AND RICK OWENS AS WELL AS THEIR JOINTLY EXECUTED ARTWORKS FOR THE SHOW. DIFFERENT IN PRACTICE
AND BACKGROUND, CASH’S AND OWENS’ INTERESTS OVERLAP CONSIDERABLY: CASH’S VISUALS FEATURE A GREAT
DEAL OF AESTHETICIZED UNCANNINESS, WHEREAS OWENS’ PRACTICE CARRIES A KINDRED APPROACH TO THE
BALANCE BETWEEN FUNCTIONAL DESIGN AND THE PURE MANIFESTATION OF FORM.
THIS EXHIBITION AIMS TO UNDERLINE THEIR ARTISTIC POSITIONS, WHICH, ALTHOUGH ORIGINATING FROM DIFFERENT REALMS OF CULTURE, BOLDLY
SHAPE THE LARGER PICTURE OF THE VISUAL ARTS TODAY.
