Beer as costume...

[fajrdrako]

Yahoo! this morning had a news clip on this exhibit of gowns made out of beer cans, by Nikos Floros.



I was fascinated. I like his point, too - "I consume, therefore I exist." Seems we need artists to point these things out; awareness is good.

Curious, and looking for something more about Nikos Floros, I came upon this article, in which they are trying to make clothes not out of beer cans, but out of the beer itself.

It's a strange world.

Remembering "Vanitas" at the National Gallery once upon a time, running the risk of making the same point until the cost-cut-demanders started screaming.

Artists do like to make the same point - in various different ways. I wonder what Maria Callas would think?
