Earlier this spring, telos.haus hosted a monthly series of figure drawing events. As we considered ways to develop the series further, an idea came to mind: what if the models were clothed instead of nude?

Immediately, friends of the haus Wenjüe Lu came to mind: despite their largely monochrome palette, we knew the silhouettes, piling, and drape of their garments would be perfect for an illustration environment.

This event is part of the broader Wenjüe Lu weekend at telos.haus. Fashion illustration will be followed by a reception with bar, snacks, and a live performance by Chamberlain. The next day, we’ll enjoy a sound bath from friends of Wenjue Lu, Many Ohms.

In 2020, Wenjue launched her eponymous studio Wenjüe Lu with partner Chufeng Fang as an artist duo. Studio Wenjüe Lu seeks to restore a sense of “slowness” to the ever-accelerating world. Though majored in fashion design, Wenjue seeks to disintegrate fashion, along with the construct known as trend.

Insisting on design and craft on a hands-on basis, Studio Wenjüe Lu devoted itself to emphasizinig the rediscovery and the re-cherishing of craftsmanship and folk spirit while respecting the natural state of different fibers, shades, and textures. Infusing its ongoing exploration of their philosophy of life born within the process into the creations.
