Generation T-shirt – une curation de Flavio Scaloni

Une curation de Flavio Scaloni, Gallery Manager chez Galerie Lo Scalo – The T-shirt in art serves as the ultimate democratic canvas, symbolizing youth rebellion, political activism, and personal identity. Symbolically, this humble garment evolved from a utilitarian undergarment into a wearable billboard for social commentary, while psychologically reflecting our innate desire to project beliefs and group belonging directly onto the body. Since 1950, contemporary artists have utilized the T-shirt to probe consumerism and street culture. Keith Haring famously subverted commercial distribution by printing his iconic dancing figures onto wearable art, notably featured in his public campaign Free South Africa (1985). Decades later, Tracey Emin integrated clothing and text to confront vulnerability and personal memory in mixed-media works like Me T-Shirt (1997). In photography, the world-famous Bruce Weber captured the effortless, sensual iconography of the white tee in T-Shirt, Montauk (1982). This collection celebrates the T-shirt as a potent, modern canvas of expression.
