BLUE MOVIE

Simon Pentleton/Josephene Soughan

Were these girls performing in a retro erotic film or posing for a contemporary fashion shoot? Seductive shots replaced narrative in a film that defined the ambiguous space between the cinematic sequence and the fashion story.

FASH-OFF

Gareth Pugh, Eugene Souleiman, Alex Box

Fêted for his commitment to creating provocative spectacles over mundane, workaday clothes, controversial young designer Gareth Pugh used the SHOWstudio live platform to stage a series of performances to mark Couture Week, the first week of July 2006. Each representing his attitude towards the different aspects of his whirlwind fashion career thus far, the afternoon broadcasts focused on themes of boredom and repetition, artifice and multiple personae, high-octane glamour and the falsity of easily dealt acclaim. Of course, no Gareth Pugh project would be complete without the attendant, out-of-control party, which he he threw to open the series.

GUISER

Leigh Bowery

Guiser presented a rare selection of original and previously unpublished material that looked at, listened to and wrote about the legendary figure Leigh Bowery. The extraordinary personage of Leigh Bowery has had an enormous influence on visual culture - across fashion, art, music and performance - and SHOWstudio wanted to celebrate this legacy. Guiser brought together previously unseen film footage of Bowery being photographed by Nick Knight, with unreleased sound material from 'Minty' demo tapes as a soundtrack. Also featured was an essay by one of Leigh's contemporaries, Donald Urquhart -whose own artistic output and creativity mirrors the breadth of Bowery's output, as well as intertwining creatively with it. Urquhart's text gave personal accounts of some of the posthumous events that have commemorated Leigh Bowery.

AMAZE ME was inspired by the brief issued by art director Alexi Brodovitch to photographer Richard Avedon — simply to “amaze him”.

The challenge asked you, the public, to respond to a brief set by a panel of six leading creative industry figures. Viewers had the chance to come along to one of our micro-studio booths and make a 30 second video pitch.

The best six entries won a PSP™(Playstation®Portable), plus an exclusive opportunity to work with the panellist they attempted to amaze.
