RECEPTION at RICHTER GALLERY
In Conjunction with Artrageous
November 14, 2009
6 - 10 PM
Exhibit runs through January 1, 2009

Richter Gallery is proud to annouce The Queens, the latest work from the Swiss duo Alex and Felix!
They have devised a new universe presided over by fantastical queens who wear their realms on their bodies.
Every object that adorns their sinewy figures has symbolic value; every queen has her own regal story.
Without the use of computers, Alex and Felix hand make every detail of these images in a multi-faceted process that is both painstaking and impassioned.

"We do it all. We are the designers, the manufacturers and the dressmakers. This is an important aspect. And we do not conceptualize or create on the computer. It is all handcraft. And this is, we think, what probably differs us from others. There is neither planning or designing on paper first. We think and discuss the topic and the quintessence of the work first intensely. Then we search for suitable objects and material we could use for the sceneries. Creating the clothes is a long process and it ends by trying the clothes on display dummies first. Sometimes it takes ages. It is difficult to break down, as it is all different every time."

Richter Gallery hours are 10 to 5 Monday through Saturday.
