Margareta Kern’s exhibition at Impressions was focused on womens clothing. Two separate themes: dresses made by Kern’s mother in the Croatioan-Bosnian village she came from for young women graduating from high school. And a little known tradition for older women from the region to go and buy the clothes they expect to die in. The younger womens dresses were largely influenced by those worn by Western celebrities, made to styles paraded by these media figures. The older womans portraits set in the womens houses with the clothes arranged around them set within traditional decor of the region. The clothes ‘to die for’ I think was the stronger piece, and could have stood on its own, but the younger womens piece made an interesting contrast and its tie to the older womens through similar location made the works link together quite interestingly to give a broader view of contemporary society there.
