Mack’s exhibition title is a play on the famous fabric retailer and fashion magazine, but it is also an homage to a London nightclub of the same name, which is known for a fashion-centric dance subculture where image and identity are created through performance. If Vogue Fabrics demonstrates that the current and unfashionable, heavy and diaphanous, luxurious and unseemly may occupy the same field, it also insists that such private negotiations become a public conversation.
This exhibition is organized by Senior Curator Cathleen Chaffee.
Admission to this exhibition is free during M&T FIRST FRIDAYS @ THE GALLERY on March 3, April 7, May 5, and June 2, 2017.
