The Artist’s Voice: Virgil Abloh with Josh Johnson

Amidst an ongoing global pandemic, the traditional runway show was radically reconfigured by fashion designers seeking new ways of presenting their collections. Virgil Abloh, in his role as Men’s Artistic Director at Louis Vuitton, was at the forefront of this innovation, creating a unique and powerful film—Peculiar Contrast, Perfect Light—with artists from Moved by the Motion and additional collaborators to showcase his fall/winter 2021 collection. Hear more about the inspirations and processes for creating this groundbreaking film from Abloh and performance choreographer Josh Johnson, in conversation with Ruth Erickson, the ICA’s Mannion Family Curator.
