"We all came into this world naked. The rest is all drag."
—    Rupaul

In the tradition of exploring where clothing and design intersects with art, Mobius is hosting it’s second Wearable Art Runway show Friday May 6th, at 7 pm in their Harrison Avenue space in the South End.

The "themes" for this call for work are Wearable Art in general, Cyberart (in honor of Boston Cyberarts 2011), and Word Game.

Word game is based on an online international solicitation of “favorite word” which were then stencilled onto five yards of egyptian cotton. The winning fabricated design by ENAMOUR/ENAMOUR SPORT Owner and Designer June Monteiro from Washington, DC will be featured in the show.

The event will take place during the closing weekend of "A Tool Is A Mirror" curated by Elizabeth Keithline, a group exhibition which is part of this year's Boston Cyberarts Festival (April 22nd through May 8th, 2011).
