Retro, faux-vintage, and anachronism: When cinema looks back

December 5, 2015/in Autumn 2015_'Vintage'

by Stefano Baschiera and Elena Caoduro The vintage style, the reproduction and reclamation of past fashions, original objects, and old looks, is a highly commoditised phenomenon. Though its contemporary meaning developed with the second-hand clothing trend in the late 1980s, vintage has become mainstream in the early 21st century and has expanded beyond the fashion […]

December 3, 2015/in Autumn 2015_'Vintage'

by Kim Knowles – She said I looked like a 1950s housewife – Well your dress is slightly anachronistic – What? It’s vintage I’ll have you know! – I know, but being vintage doesn’t make it attractive. During a party scene in Xavier Dolan’s film Les Amours Imaginaires / Heartbeats (2010) the two twenty-something characters […]

A theoretical approach to vintage: From oenology to media

November 29, 2015/in Autumn 2015_'Vintage'

by Katharina Niemeyer Research on vintage as both a term and a concept and its historical emergence in the field of fashion and flea markets in Europe and the United States is already well-established, particularly regarding the subcultural nature of vintage, its relation to hipsters, the difference between vintage and second-hand clothes, and its identification […]

Editorial Necsus

November 26, 2015/in Autumn 2015_'Vintage', Features

Vintage is everywhere. Ranging from vintage design to vintage cloths and vintage media, in our contemporary culture ‘the old rebranded as new’ and ‘the new rebranded as old’ are a striking phenomenon – but what kind of relationship to or longing for the past does ‘vintage’ indicate?

The way we watched: Vintage television programmes, memories, and memorabilia

November 24, 2015/in Autumn 2015_'Vintage'

by Helen Piper ‘People die, sure,’ my mother was saying. ‘But it’s so heart-breaking and unnecessary how we lose things. From pure carelessness. Fires, wars.

Theaters: Cinematic vintage magnified

November 17, 2015/in Autumn 2015_'Vintage', Exhibition Reviews, Reviews

The pictures gathered in the photographic series Theaters are the perfect attempt to exemplify the challenging task to find a crystallised form to cinematic duration.

by Francesco Spampinato Introduction Richard Serra emerged in the 1960s in association with minimalism and land art – two conceptual art movements that speculated on the potentialities of sculpture to affect the space (and therefore the context) in which the work of art is installed or for which it is specifically conceived.
