Visual Arts :: Skin to Skin: A dialogue between art and fashion

Skin to Skin: A dialogue between art and fashion
Fremantle Arts Centre, City of Fremantle

Highlighting the ways in which fashion and contemporary art feed off each other, Skin to Skin extends our understanding of the relationship between fashion and issues of identity, consumption and beauty.

Skin to Skin fosters appreciation of fashion as holding meaning beyond the aesthetic or marketable object. It includes seamless garments grown by micro-organisms, work that plays off architectural and sculptural references, and a live performance that repositions the male body as the central subject.
