Beginning September 15, 2013, the adventurous fashion collective threeASFOUR will present its latest project, MER KA BA, a multimedia installation fusing avant-garde couture, architecture, and video projections, at The Jewish Museum. Blending ancient symbols with new technologies to evoke a timeless desire for cross-cultural unity, the exhibition includes examples from threeASFOUR's new spring-summer 2014 collection, featuring 3D-printed textiles made in collaboration with the architect Bradley Rothenberg. The clothing line and its environment are inspired by sacred geometry and tile patterns found in synagogues, churches, and mosques around the world. threeASFOUR is also working with Studio Christian Wassmann to build an architectural structure in the form of a six-pointed star, and with the 3D animation designer Alex Czetwertynski on video projections of the five Platonic solids. threeASFOUR: MER KA BA will remain on view through February 2, 2014.
