Around last year's Superbowl, Dockers issued a "Man-ifesto" to promote its khaki line. "It's time to answer the call of manhood," Dockers insisted. "It's time to wear the pants." With safety razors seemingly having cornered the market on "revolution" in the west nowadays, perhaps it's no surprise that the most radical thing a middle-class man can do is buy a pair of beige trousers.
If I Were a Monument with Louise Liliiefeldt (Mayworks Festival)
Location
If I Were a Monument is an exhibition by renowned artist Louise Liliiefeldt. The exhibition consists of paintings and installations that deal with the issue of loneliness. The images Liliefeldt creates are born from a very personal place, as dementia and caregiving have been part of her immediate family, perhaps exaggerating the solitude of both the person who has
dementia and the caregiver. The images surrounding the walls of the gallery represent images of what loneliness would feel like if she were a monument erected to honor the lives of others.
