mummy has the bends again @ The Community, Nov 24

22 November 2016

The mummy has the bends again event is on at Paris’s The Community on November 24. 

“is the bends the one where you go down deep underwater for a long time and when you surface, you feel funny?”

Exhibition space Centre for Style and independent publishing house 3-ply‘s new artist book and fashion magazine HEROES are is launching with an evening of a performance titled ‘The Banquet’ by Jessie Kiely and by transient curatorial project Monica’s Gallery. The garments will be enacted by fashion stylist Hali Christou. 

HEROES takes its name from a ‘hero look’ which is a designer’s signature style and is often “the most conceptually-driven moment of the runway.” Bringing together a range of contributors, the magazine/book assembles a range of practices that responded to the caricature of personal style. This issue features contributions by Anna-Sophie Berger, Aurelia Guo and Caley Feeney, among many others. 

See the FB event page for details.**

Heroes he describes as an exploration of the relationship between the limitations of social norms and freedom of expression, particularly the juxtaposition between the young and old.  That we see more elderscents and their particular pre-sex games or foreplay. But again, this is a matter of personal interpretations.

Jason will be exhibiting @ Copro Gallery (Santa Monica – CA) next month in a group exhibition called “Dark Water”, so if you’re around…
