A Future Now Passed by Anna Pogossova & Sophie Fletcher

PHOTOGRAPHER: Anna Pogossova @ B&A

CERAMICS: Functional Sculpture

An unlikely assortment of household consumables, vivid in colour and varied in form, bring sentiments of what is passed into a narrative of now.

“Those of us in the practice of still life are intrinsically linked to our predecessors in painting of the Dutch Golden Age. Whether to celebrate or to subvert, we often glance back to the past. There is an inherent intimacy and nostalgia in objects relating to the home, and I am really interested in how contemporary artists subvert that in their practice, as well as the conventional ways of making.” – Anna Pogossova

OPENING ACT – A PROJECT WITH BIANCA SPENDER BY JESS RUBY JAMES AND DYLAN BUZOLICH

Bianca Spender’s meticulously crafted collections have always proved testament to her industry pedigree and well practiced expertise. Her uniqueness lies in her ability to imbue each collection with meaning - her garments, in all their wonderfully draped and tailored lyricism, do so much more than clothe the body. Spender’s AAFW show earlier this year was no different. With a mission to celebrate the courageousness of women, her spring summer collection has a lot to say. To mark its official launch, SIDE-NOTE sat down with Spender to reflect on what it meant to present the opening show and the figurative space she’s claimed for her eponymous fashion label.

MADE UP BY DEREK HENDERSON AND MATILDA DODS

Make up, and the beauty industry when subtracted from narratives of both mass consumerism, and oppressive beauty standards, contains the potential for rebellious lightheartedness. The personal is political, but that does not mean that either can’t be fun. The new identity of the beauty industry is fun, embracing its inherent frivolity and its revolutionary potential as a political force.
