Iris van Herpen -
Sculpting the Senses
Immersive soundtrack for exhibition
11th of May 2026 to 6th of December 2026
@ Brooklyn Museum, New York
Sculping the senses pays tribute to Dutch fashion designer Iris van Herpen, now recognized as one of the most avant-garde figures of her generation. Organized as an immersive and sensory exploration into the designer’s universe, this retrospective merging fashion, contemporary art, design and science, revolves around eight themes that identify the very essence of van Herpen’s body of work.
At the heart of this immersive journey lies an extraordinary collaboration with sound artist Salvador Breed, whose rich sonic tapestry adds a new dimension to the retrospective.
Breed's sonic reverie draws inspiration from the fusion of technology, nature, and human creativity that defines Iris van Herpen's aesthetic. The result is an audio landscape that mirrors the ethereal and otherworldly qualities inherent in van Herpen's fashion.
The sonic contribution not only enhances the exhibition but also serves as an independent work of art, echoing the boundary-pushing spirit of Iris van Herpen herself.
