art exhibit’s lipstick traces

June 17, 2008 3:48 pm

Lipgloss

Cosmetics ads promise to turn faces into works of art. In a related move, the seven artists, designers, and fashion photographers in the “Lip-gloss and Lacquer” show at London’s Spring Projects gallery pay homage to the seductive allure of beauty products with works that emulate the flawless finish and high sheen of a lip lacquered with lip gloss (in the case of Lawrence Weiner’s sculpture made from lipstick, this is literally true). Though the works all radiate a shiny aesthetic, not all the participants in the show are wholeheartedly supportive of high-fashion spin and the high hopes it generates. In other words, the magic is leavened with reality.
