Perhaps this really belongs in the Jetset Forum but, I got this notice from MOCA today:

MOCA MEMBER NEWS/OCTOBER

SAVE THE DATE!
SKIN + BONES: PARALLEL PRACTICES IN FASHION AND ARCHITECTURE MEMBERS’ OPENING PARTY---FREE TO MOCA MEMBERS
SATURDAY, NOV 25, 7-11PM
MOCA GRAND AVENUE
Get ready for another legendary MOCA Members’ Opening Party! The most innovative names in fashion and architecture are coming to MOCA this November with Skin + Bones: Parallel Practices in Fashion and Architecture . Top fashion designers and the world’s leading architects are represented by over 300 couture and ready-to-wear garments, runway footage, full scale installations, photographs, and architecture models.

I know nothing yet beyond the blurb, but I'm already intrigued and think the opening party would be ultra-swanky - I may just have to go.

Well, their openings are a LOT of fun. I think we get 2 guests admitted with our membership and there has to be other MOCA members on the board.

If not the opening party, then we must plan at Swanking. We're long overdue for one anyways.

Are you allowed to gently hold the models' hands and whisper "it's ok, we blame the designer for your humiliation, not you"?

Oh Alex, I'm so glad I didn't have a mouthfull of water when I read that! Good One!!

I'm a member. And I'm interested. Sweet.

Pardon the derail, but is there a difference between modern and contemporary art? Are they the same thing?

Alex · 10-04-2006, 03:35 PM

My understanding is that modern art covers the late 1800s through the 1960s and contemporary art takes you from the end of the '60s to current.

No idea, though, if that is a hard line observed in contemporary or modern art museums.

Given the title, I expected a discussion of anorexic building practices!
