NYFW: AGNES B X JULIEN LANGENDORFF

During NYFW, French fashion label agnès b. is launching a solo exhibition of work by French artist, Julien Langendorff, at the agnès b. Galerie Boutique in Soho.
Julien Langendorff was born in Paris, France in 1982. He studied at the École Duperré Paris where he began experimenting in various mediums including metal etchings and film, while writing and playing music. He has exhibited in galleries in Paris, New York, Tokyo and Berlin and first met agnès b. at one of his exhibitions in 2009.
His work combines collage, pen and ink drawings and paper cut‐outs of 1970’s erotic imagery and often conjures up dark, dream‐like visions influenced by gothic and hippie cultures, Black Sabbath, spiritism and diary‐art.
Langendorff’s work is both minimal and psychedelic with a free, stream of conscious sensibility.
He also plays music in Pillars Of Fire, a doom-psychedelic band formed with artist Jason Glasser. Included in the exhibition are three collaborative pieces with Glasser. On top of this, Lagendorff plays records under the name, Skate Witches.
The title of the series ‘Goddess Fuzz Fantasy’ originated from a fantasy of one of Langendorff’s poems.
For the duration of the exhibition, Julien Langendorff will reside in New York to present a series of lectures and performances at the gallery.
