The Experience: Inbred Hybrid Collective @ Act Art

About a month ago I was asked to represent an artist friend from New York and install a site specific installation at ACT ART here in London.  The night was amazing, but I am just going to focus on Inbred Hybrid Collective for a minute. 

Censorship is something that exists, whether you choose to acknowledge that fact is up to you.  And with this piece, we are able to express our views on the subject.  A conversation is the core of the piece with instruction for the participants to voice their own stories ...

This is my favorite story of the night ... what is the problem with looking like a cowgirl?

Enchanted Palace: The Veil That Obscures The Restoration

Kensington Palace is being transformed. As the walls of the palace are being shaken by a £12 million renovation project the rubble and the dust is unleashing powerful and secret stories about the lives of Kensington's princesses.

At the heart of the Enchanted Palace  journey is a quest for the seven princesses who once lived here. Their lives have been re-imagined as installations offering a fascinating interpretation of the palace's hidden stories.

OK, this is amazing;  An exhibition space opened in the middle of a construction zone.  It's as if  Rei Kawakubo has built a guerilla exhibition and performance space in one of the most famous of London palaces. The Enchanted Palace will feature works and pieces from Vivienne Westwood, William Tempest, Stephen Jones, Boudicca, Aminaka Wilmont and Echo Morgan.

As I was a little late for entrance earlier today, I will have to wait until Monday to visit Kensington Palace and experience the fantasy for myself.
