anywhooooo... the day started off with a nice little introduction to the concept of detournement and then was followed with a seminar on the same subject... i would divulge but frankly it's addled my brain and it will do yours unless you are always one of those fab types who know what i'm talking about already. see above duchamp piece for prime example.
besides being completely mind addling... it was all rather interesting and inspiring. this morning's experience cemented my opinion even more that all of my tutors are near god-like. how do they know so much? how are they so cool and hip? how did they get where they are? how can i get there please?
obviously it has taken them a lot of time, money and hardwork to be where they are but they seem like the sort of people that just magically wound up teaching about the great ideas of the world (well... art & design) to us minions. that kind of power is enviable.
and moving back a little bit to the subject of detournement (in fashion)... does anyone remember the dress dipped in ice by robert cary williams? i am dying to find an image of it but alas nothing... nada. think it was from 2006? i'm not sure but yes... let me know if you do have an image please. would make me very happy to see it.
in other news... its wednesday and you know what that means. 8pm = comfy clothes, chocolate, couch and chuck... of gossip girl that is. can't help but feel the same excitement and build up of ten years ago when i was a teenage dawson's creek devotee. let the anticipation of the ultimate in visual feasting begin!
you know you love me. xoxo
