| CURRENT THE FASHION BODY | |
| | |
 We're on our fifth week of Fashion Body programming, with fashion's great and good carving up the body through cinematic and textual analysis. On Monday, meticulous manicurist Marian Newman gave us her painstaking portrayal of the left hand; today we launch the left thigh as seen by British couturier Deborah Milner and hairstylist Peter Gray, and Friday is the turn of designer Gareth Pugh to immortalise fashion's favourite focal point, the shoulders. This weeks essayists are SHOWstudio.comContributing Fashion Writer Olivia Marks examining ever-shifting erogenous zones, and Professor Shaun Cole, whose essay hones in on the honed male haunches. Tune in each weekday to SHOWstudio.com for the launch of a new film or essay on the theme The Fashion Body. [more] | |

| FROM THE SHOP THE WHOLE FAMILY, 2008 | |
| | |
 Plenty have endeavoured to radically re-appropriate the status of the 'object' in art, yet one that offers up such an iconic collection is that of Terence Koh's 2008 solo exhibition, The Whole Family. Having featured in our Inside/Out exhibition; Koh's Untitled 13 is one of the forty-one sub-installations in The Whole Family. A tiny radio, a small plate of excrement, a broken pair of glasses, all doused and dripping in a pristine white paint. Koh undeniably challenges Haim Steinbach's work on the arrangement of objects by muting the subject and literally turning it on its head. [more] | |
| FROM THE ARCHIVE THE FUNERAL OF NEW ORLEANS | |
| | |
 As this month marks the 5th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina's merciless reign over New Orleans, it feels fitting to look back to Aitor Throup and Jez Tozer's 2007 film project - an inspired memorial to the disaster. The Funeral of New Orleans dramatises the story of five musicians who fought for survival when the Hurricane hit the city in 2005. Taking the traditional New Orleans funeral marching band as an artistic starting point, Aitor Throup's A/W 2008 collection told the story of these musicians in the wake of the devastation – a struggle in which they must protect both themselves and their instruments. Fusing fashion and film in an innovative presentation, Throup and Tozer's work wrestles between art and fashion, while simultaneously showcasing the functionality of each piece of the collection.
