The Chestgallery
Jan Rothuizen, David Miles, Ed Pien, Evren Tekinoktay, Jean Bernard Koeman, Michael Tedja, Geer van der KlugtThe Chestgallery is presentation of various T-shirts. Seven artists each made a special design for the launch of W139's Chestgallery, a public gallery on people's chests.
W139 chose these artists for their proven talent for clear line drawing. Each of them is a true conceptual artist; clear and simple images that must look good on a human torso. On your torso, because the T-shirts can be bought for 35 euro a piece, even less than the price of an average Tommy Hilfiger shirt, and are produced in limited editions of 50 per artist.
In this way, W139 is hoping to cultivate a new generation of art collectors. After all, young people spend huge amounts of money on clothes. So the conclusion for The Chestgallery was quickly drawn; we are sowing the seeds of art in the market and in public life.
The Chestgallery will be presented as an annexe to The Sweatshop, the right habitat in which to discover which drawing best suits your chest. In various colours and sizes. Everyone between the sizes of XS and XXL is cordially invited to the opening.
