| Title: MJKVDL 2021 |
| By (author): Mark Leur |
| ISBN10-13: 1838045031 : 9781838045036 |
| MJKVDL 2021 presents the first published survey of the work of architect-turned-clothing designer Mark Jan Krayenhoff van de Leur. Shot largely in the Berlin home Mark shares with his husband, the artist AA Bronson, the book uses the language of the fashion look book to explore a deeply personal design practice in which singular garments are infused with autobiographical narratives. After a 30 year career as an architect, Mark began experimenting with clothing design after he and his husband relocated from New York to Berlin in 2013. His one-off garments emerge from labour-intensive and formally unique processes, responding to problems or provocations raised by traditional approaches to garment construction and tailoring, and subverting established norms of production. Incorporating systems thinking and architectural methods and software, Markâ s work embodies a personal philosophy of living and making with integrity, engaging with the basic nature of a material or process and embracing the idea of total integration. As Madeleine Morley writes in the book's essay, "this open questioning of norms, commitment to materials, and holistic thinking combines to form Markâ s singular queering of Modernism, at once true to its egalitarian mission and resistant to prescriptive codification". Rather than a fashion collection, Markâ s clothes exist outside of capitalist cycles of seasonal production and consumption; each garment is unique and no multiples are made or sold. Pushinskyâ s photographs work with and against fashion media languages including portraiture, still life and â BTSâ (behind the scenes) to produce a portrait of the designer, of a practice, and of a life lived and dressed in resistance to the status quo. |

| This publication, co-published by The Showroom and Chateau International, takes as a starting point Khan-Dossosâ ongoing research into the complex context of the UK governmentâ s development of pre-crime and surveillance policies, in particular Prevent*, questioning the politics of representation and the positioning of care that the strategies around those policies generate. Texts in the book include new essays by Navine G. Khan-Dossos, Rob Faure Walker and Lily Hall alongside contributing writers who have engaged in written dialogues: Sadia Habib, Hassan Vawda, Rachel Coldicutt, Tarek Younis, Shezana Hafiz & Azfar Shafi from advocacy organisation CAGE, and William Skeaping from Extinction Rebellion. A text by Alexander Massouras, revised from his exhibition review of There Is No Alternative for Art Monthly in 2019, is also included. The book is designed by Mark Hurrell. At the core of the project at The Showroom was the act of questioning what an alternative to Prevent could look like, both visually and sociologically. Working with philosophical principles of image and space-building from the tradition of aniconism within Islamic art â where it becomes possible to represent the un-representable through analogies with geometry â Navine G. Khan-Dossosâ hand-painted and collaboratively produced murals explored ideas of authenticity, appropriation, positionality and the possibility of generating new visual languages in the context of transgressive political and conceptual frameworks. This publication forms part of the trans-disciplinary programme Radical Citizenship, a cooperative project between The Showroom and Goethe-Institut London. |
