Art on the Edge of Fashion Performance

RITA GRENDZE - "Suburban Armor" was one of a series of wearable sculptures by Grendze that was worn throughout the evening. The sculpture directly addressed the issue of clothing as a form of self expression. What does a pair of pants with 700 fingers, complete with glossy red nails, say about its wearer? Is it attractive? Repulsive" As a performance, "Suburban Armor" is an attempt by the wearer to transcend the constricts of the garment and simply act as naturally as possible. The garment changes the direction and pace of the performer's movements, just as the wearer's persona transforms the garment.
