Ulrik Martin Larsen
The week before I moved from San Francisco, I encountered a few random freak occurrences that left intense lasting impressions on me. One of these was attending an extremely thorough show of the works by the artist Nick Cave (NOT the musician) at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. I'll do a more indepth post about this at a late date, but to sum it up I was completely struck by the fluid combination of textile, performance, video, and photography around his breathtaking works.
Fast forward one-and-a-half months, and I am invited to the opening of a show featuring a friend of a friend named Ulrik. Little did I know that seeing his pieces would once again conjur the sorts of feelings I had while viewing the Nick Cave show. Ulrik's works are not only technical feats, but also maintain a balance between garment/sculpture/object which I find so fantastic and equally problematic AKA great. The pieces also have seperate lives when viewed up close and then with some distance - the distinction emerges between the form created and the materials used. ULRIKMARTINLARSEN.COM

These are fantastic! I can see very loose ties to Margiela Artisanal in the artist's textural layering and occasional use of recycled materials but these are much much more gestural and avant garde...beautiful!
brilliant!
Love the last piece, this is kind of making me rethink my policy on knits.
