Just because Domino Magazine co-sponsored The AFF this weekend in NYC you should not assume that only “decorator" art was on display. Past AFF participants have been snapped up by museums including Amy Stein whose work can know be seen at MoCP.
At this year's event we became infatuated with an exhibit called The Vanity Room by Vadis Turner. The room is composed of objects that represent the tension and complexity between traditional and contemporary gender roles for women. The sexy lingerie on display is made from wax paper normally used for baking. The pill necklace is made with birth control. The false eyelashes and nails were made from Turner’s BFA and MFA diplomas. Turner sees both beauty and intelligence as a cultural measure of worth. She adds, “I hope that the work visualizes the mixed message of wanting to be sexually desired and also perceived as a potential "wife" figure”
