EVENT: SATURDAY, APRIL 16th, 7-11pm -- FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ART MEETS FASHION -- OPENING AT PLANET ROOTH DESIGN HAUS

2011-03-24T11:53:00.000-07:00

Please join us for the culmination event of our ART MEETS FASHION team N-GOM exhibition and premiere of the fashion film, N-GOM IS THE FUTURE, shot by the MEDIA ARTS CENTER San Diego's TEEN PRODUCERS. This exhibition will double as a benefit for the Teen Producers Project developed by the non-profit organization, MEDIA ARTS CENTER San Diego, and will include live fashion show, art installation, and film screening.

Theme:
N-GOM is the future.

It is the battered future through the inescapable dystopic lens. Revealed is the degradation, overpopulation, and destruction. The setting for our story is in the afterward. It is in the confusion and the inevitable but fragmentary reconstruction. Our inspiration is nestled between the septic desert earth that refuses to bear crops and the polluted streams that refuse to hold fish but instead carry discarded plastic debris.

In the future, a new generation is born. They are scavengers, they are hunters, and they are alone. They fill-in the blanks with whatever is available. They invent histories and mythologies with broken, second-hand stories. In a time where salvaging and recycling are inherent, they re-build their lives with what is available. A new visual language arises to deal with the new visual landscape. The aesthetics of necessity begin to form providing a strange, horrible, and beautiful emergence of a new kind of culture, art, and fashion. New Ground Old Materials (N-GOM).

Art Meets Fashion:

SDVAN and FOCUS have embarked on a project to enliven the SD art scene by cross pollinating the fashion and art worlds. By putting together teams consisting of an artist, a fashion designer, a teacher and a documenter, we hope to encourage products with immense creative energy. - http://www.artmeetsfashion.org/

About The Teen Producers Project:
Since 2001, the MEDIA ARTS CENTER San Diego's Teen Producers Project has helped convert scores of at-risk youth into motivated young film producers. The program has helped them to create more than 500 short films that document their lives and their communities. These young filmmakers also learn the practical skills associated with multimedia production and build self-esteem while experiencing the thrill of creating something tangible.

N-GOM: Teen Producers Video Shoot

2011-02-22T12:49:00.000-08:00

Set against the backdrop of the art installation by Guy Lombardo, wearing the fashion designs (jewelery and gowns) by Anjela Piccard, the models were stunning in the post-apocalyptic-themed video shoot setting.

Team N-Gom was extremely lucky to get the MEDIA ART CENTER San Diego's Teen Producers to shoot amazing footage for our N-Gom is the Future fashion video (coming soon!).

Teen Producers, Dulce Martinez, Paloma Arias, and Trevor Seines participated in two all-day Saturday workshops with their fabulous instructor, Jodi Cilley, and organizer, Katherine Sweetman, to create the vision for the video, organize the shoot, and film our lovely and gorgeous models: Anna Weeks and Kla-Bada.

Also on hand for the shoot hairdresser William Williams with assistants, Mirza Batanovic and Mary Sinnett. Make-Up Artist Luisa Fernanda was in charge of make up, and of course Anjela Piccard was there to help oversee shoot, arrange fashion, and direct designs.

Photographer and Designer, Michelle Bassler helped us out with stunning photographs of the models.

The shoot(s) video and photo both went extremely well.

humanity returns to once contaminated cities unfamiliar and uneducated in regards to "so called" civilized society many generations later with only stories and fables to guide them. how would they react? how would they survive? how would they utilize the remnants from the past? without practical knowledge what, when ,where and how would they use what they find?
