Dance theories and the embodied knowledge of dance practitioners comprise a vast understanding of the body and movement, all of which may inform fashion design in many layers beyond the aesthetic, biomechanical and performative aspects of bodies in motion. The dancer's body is both body and dance, tool and material, creating impermanent shapes in space. From movement education to social activities, the unique combination of human experiences through physical particularities of the human body are embedded in each form executed by the dancer. Thus, a body's physicality, knowledge, experience, and history combined materialize so-called trace forms in space through time. The perception of the body as medium, creator and material is a vital concept of dance knowledge that has the potential to enrich fashion design practices. This work explores how the designer's physicality, knowledge, experience, and history can be consciously implemented as central elements at different stages of the design process. This study demonstrates how this innovative approach helps to generate volumes and shapes, colors, and proportions as well as the production of new and innovative analog and digital materials. The intentional intervention of the different personal and particular aspects of the designer's life might lead not only to creating distinct and unusual outcomes but also to redefining the relationship between the designer and the designed object and the processes included in that interaction. Working with traces of life as the material will lead to the creation of new bridges of meaning between the designer, their history, the material, and memory.
Julio Escudero was born in Rio Cuarto, Argentina. His dance education at the Taller de Danza del Teatro San Martin (where he was awarded as best graduate) and ballet courses at Colon Theatre were the starting point of a career as a performer and choreographer that lead him to work for more than 20 years in Argentina, France, Spain, USA, Germany, and Austria, performing as a soloist and main dancer in many productions. After graduating with distinction in the Bachelor's program of Fashion and Technology, he finished his master's studies in Fashion Design and Technology at the Kunstuniversität Linz where he explored the relationship between movement, body, and space from an artistic point of view. Since 2020 he is a researcher in the research project "Fashion and Robotics".
Loop Atmospheres
(2020 - 2022)
Cassette tape
Loop Atmospheres is a compilation of short pieces and sound experiments made as a personal outlet in a time marked by isolation and seclusion (2020 - 2022). The works explore a variety of atmospheres using loop, voices, everyday objects, traditional instruments, and self-made instruments. The many layers of sound create thick and gentle textures that transport us to an ethereal and at times melancholic mood.

FORMA/R/TS ist eine Projektreihe, die aus mehrtätigen Veranstaltungen besteht. Aus diverse Genres werden Kunstprojekte zeigen, die anhand eines thematischen Fadens miteinander in Verbindung stehen.
Konzerte, Ausstellungen, Vorführungen für diverses Publikum soll an einem Ort die Begegnung möglich machen und dabei die Vielfalt des Ortes, der KünstlerInnen sowie der Gäste zeigen und am Standort zum kulturellen gesellschaftlichen Leben beitragen. Kuratiert werden die Veranstaltungen von Damian Cortés Alberti, Künstler mit Anbindung an internationale Szenen in Argentinien, Chile, Mexiko, Kroatien, Südkorea und Österreich.
Die Schwerpunkte und Themen 2022/23:
Trans-Atlantic Voices: das Format bringt die Arbeiten von Künstlern (süd-)amerikanischer Herkunft zusammen, die ihre Aktivitäten in Österreich entfalten. Ziel ist es, idiosynkratische Linien der Südamerikaner zu beobachten, die in relevanten und prägenden Diskursen in der zeitgenössischen Kunstszene in Europa umgesetzt werden. Vor allem sind daran KünstlerInnen beteiligt, die einen starken Bezug zu Österreich ausweisen indem sie hier wohnhaft sind und die gleichzeitig ihre Verbindungen ins Ausland nutzen um vernetzend zu arbeiten.
Wavelength: Ob wir sie mit den Augen oder mit den Ohren wahrnehmen, die Wellenlänge ist als Sinnbild eng mit unserer Wahrnehmung der Realität verbunden. In Anlehnung an diesen Begriff arbeitet eine Reihe von Künstlern im Grenzbereich zwischen dem Gesehenen und dem Ungesehenen, dem Gehörten und dem Ungehörten sowie den haptischen Beziehungen zwischen diesen beiden Welten.
