Crazed and defused

The Narrows

3–5 March 2008

Presented as part of the Cultural Program of the 2008 Melbourne Fashion Festival

 

--

Part pop-up shop, part political art, partly ironic and partly sincere, Crazed and Defused was concerned with the question of the resilience of political language. Specifically, this body of work drew the symbolic languages of anarchy and punk into dialogue with the logic and the materials of fashion.
