T-Minus 20 3D Video Art and T-shirt Design In Downtown NY

2 comments

On Thursday, July 8th, we attended church. Not in the conventional sense but in a "creative" sense. In other words, we ducked into a petite white renovated church in little Italy/Chinatown in New York City that had been adorned to celebrate a colorful, dynamic multi-media gallery exhibit, T Minus 20, where experimental fashion and film melded into one.

The concept was two-fold. On the first floor, 20 eclectic artists re-designed a basic white t-shirt. In other words, there were t-shirts ripped, stretched, glamorized with jewels, tie-died, decomposed and knit upon. Artists included Christopher Lee Sauvé (the Canadian designer best known for creating the "Save Anna" t-shirts in response to incorrect rumors that Vogue editor Anna Wintour was going to be fired.); street-savvy painter / sculptor / T-shirt designer Scooter LaForge; plus Olek, Brian Kenny, Gio Black Peter, and Inbred Hybrid Collective, Marcos Chin and Fernanda Cohen; and photographer and Warhol Factory veteran Christopher Makos.

Then on the 2nd level was an installation of innovative video art. The intent was to "break down boundaries of art and fashion" and exhibit "art that won’t sit still…" Our favorite part was the 3-D installation by the dynamic experimental 3D video art by Sweatshoppe. (As you can tell we are in love with 3D these days after seeing features of the new Sony 3D TV; video with Justin and Peyton Manning HERE.)

PS in case you're curious, T Minus 20 is a term used for choking when the game is on the line and when the odds of winning are 1000 to 1.

“ Oo, and the pin-ups of London (2008) are just reverse negatives of the gothic elegant lolitas -- EXCEPT in the length of the skirt. The Victorian SHAPE is about right though. Take any busseled Victorian-length skirt, chop it off at the knee, and it is an exact silhouette of the pin-up, modern day. Oi, and cheer-ohs . . ! So glad to have finished with the aggers stage of my PMS blah-fest. Urk and yuck! ”

“ Yey! Can submit comment! Very cool display, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Punks (I was one, I keep my elegant lolita self locked up tight now, cause I have no money to support my elegant Gothic lolita "inner miss") tend to look the same though they say they're being different. Different is the first one in your area to get that new tattoo, or some weird way of piercing a body part not previously thought of before. And even THEN you're only aping London. I find very few punks have really thought out either the logistics or even the history of anarchist literature, philosophy and theory. Can it be a good working motif if everyone is generous with their food, drink, and solar panels, and not selfish as capitalist structural society dictates. It taking a "village" to raise a child, build a usable compost heap, or even a working small electrical grid for computer usage (educational online programs for those isolated groups). The Africans, in general, got this down cold. Compared to modern day capitalist ideals -- the Africans ARE anarchists. Against what is considered modernist established (1st World) norms. Just don't give ANYONE an f-ing gun. Guns just upset the balance of Power in Africa --- hence sluggish unresponsive governments. Careless, thoughtless militaries. Violent CRAP Presidents who feel money should feed their need to appear prosperous & impress the rest of the world's leaders. I don't think western ideals work in a continent of clanal, tribally raised, built and structured villages, who (linguistically, culturally, tribally, racially) may not work very well as a congealed "national" whole. Why? No shared ideals. No shared religions, beyond the borrowed (or forced upon them) religions of Islam or Christianity. Animism from tribe to tribe -- the Gods aren't the same, nor are the stories or religions. If only everyone would stop trying to make Africa some Stepford carbon-copy of the West. Anarchy is about un-Stepfordizing the world. Or un-Martha's Vinyard-izing it [a la 'The Social Network'] anyway. Hence, why there are punks. ; ) ”
