Théo Robine-Langlois, artist-in-residence at ATOPOS cvc, new image is a response to Bob Dylan Poster Dress by Harry Gordon from the ATOPOS cvc collection, in preparation for his upcoming exhibition opening on May 19.
‼️Save the date — more information coming soon.

Part of a series of mod-pop advertisement paper dresses, Poster Dress reflects the experimental spirit of the late 1960s, when fashion, graphic design, and popular culture merged into wearable images. The dress originally came with the statement:
“Should you tire of it, just cut open all the seams and hang it on your wall as a mammoth poster.” Bob Dylan Poster Dress is also part of the MoMA collection.

A detail that inspired Robine-Langlois’ research is Dylan’s iconic sunglasses. Introduced into his style around 1965, the thick, tapered frames coincided with his controversial electric turn and projected a more elusive, tougher image, often paired with all-black outfits influenced by existentialism and the visual culture surrounding the Black Panthers’ impact on American intellectual life, as noted by journalist Tom Wolfe.

Supported by , Robine-Langlois reflects on the archive as a living and active space, where objects can be reinterpreted beyond their original function, connecting fashion,visual poetry and sound.
