A Walk of Art: Visionary Shoes

A Walk of Art: Visionary Shoes was first presented in San Francisco. It featured over 55 contemporary shoe designs by alumni and students of Bezalel Academy in Jerusalem. The exhibition showcased innovative, radical designs that challenge traditional space, anatomy, and gravity concepts. The art interpretation explored the artists' designs in footwear using porcelain, glass, metal, and wood, as well as futuristic 3D-printed shoes, impossible platforms, wedges, and heels.

Shoes have an almost mystical ability to instantly rivet us, and the exhibition explored the charged history, iconic shapes, and mystery that so often surrounds them. Each shoe mixed art with fashion, and together, they created a journey between the ephemeral and the perennial, the beautiful and the painful, and the mythology and reality of some of the most charged and coveted objects in fashion history.
