Abstract
This article will examine the RIPPING ATOPOS project initiated by the Athens-based ATOPOS Contemporary Visual Culture Organization (ATOPOS). In this project, contemporary artists and fashion designers are commissioned to create their own works of art or garments, either inspired by specific pieces or by using duplicates of the 1960s paper dresses from the ATOPOS collection. The article describes results of the collaborations with the different artists and fashion designers. The project has enabled ATOPOS to investigate new ways of handling, managing and displaying its collection.
