With a futuristic, tongue-in-cheek vision, the artists featured in the 2nd Skin fashion exhibit challenge the standard notions of practical clothing. Materials include everything from repurposed goods to glowing electrical supplies from the hardware store. Among the pieces featured are Yu-Shin "Mue" Kim's spacepod knitwear and Takehito Etani's interactive Masticator headgear, which tracks the wearer's chewing. Sha Sha Higby's performance, meanwhile, finds her swathed in a cocoon of textures that becomes an energized extension of her body as she dances. Your own wearable concotions will grant you a discount for the reception, and may even be selected for the Clothesline exhibit, on view through September.
