APART! – Carlos Arroyo Galaxia x The Travellers
by Adriano Batista
This is a project born from the collaboration between two creative minds, the contemporary artist Carlos Arroyo Galaxia and the emerging fashion brand The Travellers.
The space chosen for this collaboration, “the monster building”, is a real-estate investment project of luxury apartments located in Valencia (Spain) and, nowadays, abandoned. Its essence and frustrated potential poignantly reflect the current socio-political and economic development of the country – failed intentions materializing in this half-built shell. It is within this portentous context that the building takes on the role as a leading protagonist and representative element in APART!
A decadent atmosphere of decay is woven into each garment, transforming it into a uniform, an intersection between the building and the wearer. The spirit of the location takes on a sartorial form and shrouds its wearers in its attitude of indifference, nostalgia, rebelliousness and loneliness. Attitudes also reflected in the garments donning of such iconic cultural items as blatant branding, counterfeit logos, and transient refuse. APART! represents the convergence of these very different elements: the decline, the truth, the false, and the beautiful that emerge from the orchestrated spar of different categories, regularizing their coexistence in single forms.
The techniques and imagery used in his new series are based on T-shirts from the previous The Travellers collection. Phrases, such as “Love will tear us apart”, are partially white washed and spray censored by Arroyo Galaxia to create new phrases and meanings while retaining traces of original content and intentionality. The collaboration between these two creative has brought forth a new edition of tees that comprise this multilayered hybrid of influences and styles
A creative intervention encompassing a wide range of disciplines and media: fashion, photography, sculpture installation, video and set design
