China, Beijing, 3standardstoppagestudio
3standardstoppage studio is an interdisciplinary studio launched in 2016 in San Francisco by Shisi Huang, Xiao Yong, and Nanxi Zhou, three Studio Arts MFA graduates from San Francisco Art Institute, who focus on installation arts, photography and film. As a diversified curated platform for artists, designers and life lovers, the three endeavor to redefine retail concepts, creating unique crossover collaborations among art, design, publication and fashion.
The spirit is derived from Marcel Duchamp’s art work, 3 Standard Stoppages (1913-1914), in which three randomly shaped threads were made as variable demonstrations for the measurement of one meter in compare with the standard ruler, as an intellectual construct rather than a universal absolute. 3standardstoppage adopts it to break through from existing methodology on fashion and create a distinctive perception by offering a unique mixture of products.
In addition to featuring a pluralistic selection of emerging new talents, 3standardstoppage has been working closely with artists, book publishers, designers, musicians and creative intellectuals worldwide, both online and in brick-and-mortar spaces. In combination with self-publishing both zines and books, pushing the boundaries between fine art, design and fashion like no other.
