Tigersprung: Obscure Couture at The MAC

If you’re looking for something different to do this weekend, be sure to check out the new exhibit Tigersprung: Obscure Couture, which opens on Saturday evening with a reception at The MAC. See fashion-based art objects by artists from North America and Europe, including Sunny Sigler (work is pictured at left) and Keri Oldham from Dallas. The exhibition’s title comes from the fashion historian and researcher Ulrich Lehmann’s book, Tigersprung: Fashion in Modernity, based on the writings of Charles Baudelaire and Walter Benjamin. Curated by Dr. Charissa Terranova, Assistant Professor of Aesthetic Studies at the University of Texas at Dallas and Director of Centraltrak, it will run through June 20th in the square gallery.
