A PIXELLATED CRUST OF WHITE NOISE

LAURA YUILE 
11 FEB / 20:00

To mark the launch of A Pixellated Crust of White Noise, Laura has invited two shop mannequins to participate in an in-conversation event on Instagram live.

A Pixellated Crust of White Noise is 30 mins in duration and is performed live by Laura Yuile and Alex Frost

Speaking from their respective windows of shops that are now sitting closed, Female Mannequin 1 and Female Mannequin 2 will discuss the ongoing demise of the British high street and possible strategies for transforming it. They will give an insight into their role as the original offline influencers and share their perspective on how we might slow down or hack the cycles of fast fashion, planned obsolescence and waste that often feel unavoidable.

A Pixellated Crust of White Noise brings together materials from the research and production of Laura’s solo show Heavy View which was presented at TACO! in 2019. The book includes exhibition documentation and a text stemming from the ideas that the work explored around the relationship between architectural and technological obsolescence, and how the life cycle of things and spaces, are framed by motives of profit and impact upon our bodies and communities.

A Pixellated Crust of White Noise is available to buy from the TACO! bookshop.
