lingering whisper 0

Look, out of the shadows deep into the wells
I created in your eyes when they were empty
Never to speak of the smell of
Greed, or hope that
Echoes of bright crocuses used in the smelting
Rituals of all that celluloid
I have forgotten where it went
Now, left behind are traces of cotton
Ginger hair in a brush and an empty [...]

the intense murmur of soft voices left behind 0

This exhibition stands, an artistic platform where art and fashion debate the merits of creation with the viewer. It dares to speak of over 40 international talents who explore the borderland where fashion is art; deepest fears turn into innermost whims, glam replaces gloom and depression metamorphoses into seduction. New perspectives shout of every stereotype [...]

jane l. nash interview 2

I first met Jane over 15 years ago when I was a fashion designer and she was my life model. It’s amazing but never surprising to see how people develop and change and through that time, love and friendship can endure. Here we are now, sitting opposite each other with so much of the [...]

Which sucks two souls, and vapours both away,
Turn thou ghost that way, and let me turn this,
And let our selves benight our happiest day.

lingering whispers by sarah bailey 0

On the backdrop of the stage, an erotic film of a beautiful model with a snake writhing across her breast is projected. Enormous predatory robot cameras prowl the catwalk filming the parade of models that stalk by in their evermore exquisite, otherworldly ensembles, balanced on vertiginous ‘armadillo shoes’ like space-age chopines. Occasionally the cameras turn [...]

“We can once again declare the Museum makes its ‘mark,’ imposes its ‘frame’ (physical and moral) on everything that is exhibited in it, in a deep and indelible way.” [Daniel Buren]

In 1824 William Hazlitt, on visiting the newly opened National Gallery in Trafalgar Square initiated what remains, in 2009 a contemporary topic of discussion, that [...]

maurizio giuseppucci 0

Maurizio Giuseppucci does not acquiesce in collective oblivion. On the contrary he communicates to the viewer a sentiment of repetitive and constant recollecting. His artworks, a rather complicated archive scattered into numerous multi-formatted pieces, serve to expose concealed memories and convey forceful comments about the current sociopolitical scene. Rare images retrieved from the web and [...]
