About
the artist
Andy Maluche, a German born artist and professional photographer
recently made Hong Kong his base in Asia. He has been living in
the region and at the same time travelling and working around the
world for the last 18 years.
Known for his humorous approach to art, Andy Maluche turned his
whole life into one “Gesamtkunstwerk” a synthesis of the
arts.
“Everything I do shall be considered
as art”
Based on that idea he started to document his life in form of an
ever changing, constantly evolving artwork, his daily updated website:
The Aggressively Shy Stick Insect Hunter http://dont-touch-my.com
Not everybody can enjoy art on a computer and therefore Andy Maluche
produced a printed version of his website as well: The Shy Stick
Insect Hunter Magazine, the website you can bring to the bathroom
and read it there.
About the show
Strictly Fashionable is Andy Maluche’s 8th one-man show and
will feature his artistic fashion and lifestyle photography within
a framework of a creative presentation to highlight the conceptual
discussion.
Live Art.
Since his whole life is art, Andy Maluche will live at the gallery
during the exhibition period and create his art there for everyone
to observe. All artworks produced this way will be exhibited in
real time at the gallery as well on Andy Maluche’s website,

Printing statements on
T-shirt is a fusion of conceptual art and fashion.
Haute Couture is invading art institutions like the New York City’s
Metropolitan Museum.
Yves Saint Laurent built his own museum to document his fashion
statements.
When does fashion become art? Is art subjected to a collective movement
of taste?
There is a fine, dynamic line between art and fashion.
As both, an artist and a lifestyle and fashion photographer, Andy
Maluche is exploring with this, his latest exhibition, the similarities
and conflicts of art and fashion.
Fashion
is part of everything.
Everything incorporates some art.
Art includes everything.
Fashion includes art.
This is why fashion is totally necessary
