About

Symposium — Aware: Art Fashion Identity, Monday 6 December - Tuesday 7 December 2010 For more information: http://newsevents.arts.ac.uk/event/symposium-aware-art-fashion-identity/ To book tickets: (http://estore.arts.ac.uk/browse/extra_info.asp?compid=1&modid=2&prodid=13&deptid=180) London College of Fashion will host a two-day symposium to coincide with the Royal Academy of Arts exhibition, GSK Contemporary — Aware: Art Fashion Identity. The symposium will expand on three of the major themes of the exhibition, through a series of presentations and roundtable discussions which highlight the work of contemporary artists who use clothing as a medium for communication in their work. By creating a dynamic dialogue between leading figures in the field of contemporary art, fashion history and theory and retail we intend to explore dress as it functions through memory and tradition; in changing cultural contexts; and engaged in social or political confrontation. The symposium will open with the performance Balena Project by Italian artist Claudia Losi and is followed by a one-day event at London College of Fashion.
