One artist’s tribute to androgynous waifs and tomboy dreamers

Note to fashion's itinerant class, currently perched in London. Please make Tacita Dean's "The Unilever Series" at Tate Modern a must see. It's an event, a pilgrimage and a rite of passage. It was made by turning a Cinemascope lens 90 degrees and upending the usual landscape format of the movie screen so it becomes vertical, scaling itself to the proportions of the hall. The film itself was constructed using disappearing techniques such as masking, double-exposure and glass matte painting, to recapture the sense of wonderment generated by these skills during the early days of cinema.

The "Alchemy" exhibition is curated by Sabrina Blaichman, Caroline Copley and Genevieve Hudson- Price.

Film still from "My Best Thing." 2011

This weekend I ventured into the fascinating industrial-scape around Long Island City, odd home to MoMA PS1, which gets pioneering cred for breaching an art culture in this unlikely location.
