David Bowie has clarified that, contrary to
recent claims made by The Observer, he has not had any part
in co-curating a new exhibition of his fashion memorabilia. Though, despite
what the Mirror says, that doesn't mean he's anti the exhibition either.
Writing last Tuesday in his first public
statement for two years, Bowie said he hadn't "participated in any
decisions relating to the exhibition", which is being staged at London's
Victoria & Albert Museum in 2013. He added that his official archive had
granted V&A staff "unprecedented access" to his collections, but
that "the museums curator's have made all curatorial and design
choices".
As for being allegedly against the expo, Bowie
was quick to refute an article in The Mirror alleging a
"bizarre rift" between him and the V&A. Referring to a quote in
which a Mirror source implied he wasn't "comfortable" with certain
choices being made on his behalf, Bowie added via Facebook: "A close
friend tells me that I am neither 'devastated', 'heartbroken' nor
'uncontrollably furious'".
The
V&A are set to issue an official press release on the exhibition later this
month.
