About the exhibition:

"...We must not imagine that “art work in form of dress” has resulted in the production of wearable objects that reflect the pattern of “Dress Code”. This pattern, for the participants, was simply a memory, an empty container, an elastic theme. Their works, indeed, cover all the techniques and forms of expression: from collage to multimedia, from video to photography to installation ... to “dresses”, but not conceived to be wearable. The protagonist of “Dress Code” are twelve: all together they cover a vast area of cultures and countries, extended from Algeria to Pakistan and from Turkey to Egypt to the Emirates, via Syria, Lebanon and Iraq."

Garden of Curious Delights 
Sept. 27 - Jan. 13, 2013
This group show featuring work by Marna Brauner, Christopher Davis-Benavides, Hai Chi Jihn, Cima Katz, Denis Sargent, Maria Tomasula, and Jan Ru Wan plays off the idea of the garden as a collection of specimens, much like 16th century cabinets of curiosities.
