Two distinctive worlds collide for the 9th #DiorLadyArt project, where artist @Jeffrune gifts the #LadyDior with a dual-personality transformation inspired by his punching bag pieces. One side showcases a beadwork slogan while the other reveals 3D-printed heart padlocks – a nod to Paris’s bridges of love – as an ultra-colourful reread of everyday life and society. © @HarryEelman

@shandiinbrown bah ahxeeh nisin videographer and stylist (I was gonna just film 🎥 myself lollygagging as per yoozh) but she stpped in front of the lens the first time and blocked the first whole performance and sometimes i go all out and my phone is off angle or not even focused nor recording and i think well thats what makes my movement so special like ramen or something it’s never the same and to think i wore boots to this event because i do like the height it gives me but also the ability to tread anywhere on cactus glass or gritty sand and mud, but we were joking and saying i should have brought my mocs instead (to jive on the glowing platforms) yet monkey 🙉 see monkey do would have tempted too many people to that glorious dance floor that had so many color theorists hard work emblematically illuminated in neon. and if everyone was on it busting a move, they might have just busted and shattered it & that would be so embarrassing but alas i have more reason to return to MassMOCA again what a space and thrill . . Jeffrey really strung constellations of mutual muses together and created celestial bodies ✨🌌✨🌌✨🌌✨🌌

Sometimes your body changes and you don’t remember your dreams 2024 - this is one of the recent garments featured in the @massmoca exhibition POWER FULL BECAUSE WE’RE DIFFERENT. A special thank you to @selkieswim for her beautiful construction of this garment. This has been a very special exhibition to put together. The phrase was spoken to me by my daughter when she was 7 and it felt incredibly profound to me. The words became a kind of touchstone for this body of work as it developed. The installation at MassMoCA is very immersive and here the garment was documented in the studio by Elisabeth Bernstein. @hauserwirth

Repost from @artnews • There was much talk about portals earlier this month at MASS MoCA, the enormous art space in Western Massachusetts now playing home to an eye-popping, shape-shifting installation by artist Jeffrey Gibson through the winter of next year. ⁠ ⁠ Gibson’s commissioned show “POWER FULL BECAUSE WE’RE DIFFERENT” is different than what we saw in Venice, “more antic and animated, with an emphasis on performative gestures and an engagement with “two-spirit” states of being that figure in Indigenous LGBTQI+ culture,” ARTnews and Art in America Executive Editor, @andybattaglia9 writes in his review. ⁠ ⁠ For a deeper dive into the show, including an interview with the artist, follow the link in bio.
