FILOCAFÉ CGAC

FILOCAFÉ CGAC · A propósito do dandismo nos nosos días


Con motivo da exposición Sur Le Dandysme Aujourd’hui, que se poderá visitar no Centro Galego de Arte Contemporánea ata o 21 de marzo, dende o CGAC comprácenos convidarvos a participar nunha actividade gratuíta chamada FILOCAFÉ, o vindeiro sábado 13 de marzo ás 16.30.




Baixo a idea de “O dandismo hoxe”, queremos pescudar onde se atopa o dandi actual, ver se segue entre nós aquela figura estilizada e elegante do século XIX que vestía frac e chapeu, quizais reconvertida nas figuras mediáticas do rock e do glamour, ou ben detrás dos estereotipos que marcan o xeito de vestir, actuar e comportarse das tribos urbanas. Segue presente entón o dandi entre as novas xeracións? que forma adopta? Como se distingue? Coa vosa axuda tentaremos dar resposta a estas preguntas no filocafé.




Que é un filocafé? Basicamente é un debate organizado nun bar ou cafetería, lugar público por excelencia. O obxectivo é crear un ambiente no que todas e todos poidades libremente tomar a palabra para manifestar unha ou varias ideas sobre o tema, e a estas ideas poderédeslle dar a forma que queirades: Poesía, imaxe, video, canción, performance... Non son precisos coñecementos previos sobre o tema, unicamente o desexo de aprender, compartir ideas e coñecer persoas.





Agardamos que esta proposta sexa do voso interese. Para participar, só teredes que confirmar vía e-mail ou teléfono, achegarvos ata a cafetería do CGAC o sábado 13 de marzo ás 16.30, e desfrutar do filocafé. Se queredes máis información sobre o tema ou sobre outras actividades, podedes consultar a web do CGAC ou ben contactar co Servizo de Actividades e Proxectos Educativos.

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN RIP

The news that Alexander McQueen has killed himself is particularly devastating because it always felt to me like he’d be the last man standing. He was restless, but so pragmatic with it I assumed he had what it took to endure the extreme situations he placed himself in. He was also an arch romantic with a pessimistic streak. It produced some of the most beautiful, shocking images in the history of fashion, but it’s a state of mind that can lead to endless disappointments. The death of McQueen’s mother last week would have validated his pessimism. It would undoubtedly have taken away his most vital support. It’s awful to imagine him trying—and failing—to cope, and one can only hope that, if he was looking for peace, he found it. For everyone left behind, there will eventually be consolation, however scant right now, in a body of work whose power will never die.

LONDON COLLEGE OF FASHION MA 2010

Nineteen of LCF's brightest fashion graduates took to the catwalk showcasing their MA collections to a packed out front row.

The Raphael gallery at the Victoria & Albert Museum provided a suitably grandiose backdrop for the recent London College of Fashion MA graduates showcase. Celebrities and industry heavyweights turned out in their droves, and popstrels Mika, Paloma Faith and former Sugababe Keisha Buchanan were spotted mingling with retail gurus Joan Burstein, founder of Browns Fashion, and Harold Tillman, the owner of Jaeger and Aquascutum.
