As part of it’s diverse programme of performance, music and film, Vogue Fabrics have invited established artists and curatorial duo Christina Mitrentse & Jonas Ranson to organise the first extraordinary SALON that adorns the unique interior of the ‘Hotel’. The show explores among others contemporary notions of Dandyism, the occult, micro –politics within fashion and fame, as these are experienced daily by the artists being part of 'East London Art Scene'. The exhibition includes controversial works in the form of painting, print, collage, photography and installation, made exclusively for the domestic site by a number of established international artists based in the east end . VOGUE FABRICS, situated in Dalston Kingsland, is a roleplay pitstop; a Haberdashery Hacienda by day, by night a cultural Helter Skelter, showcasing the creative hub of East London with the very best in music, performance and art.

Christina Mitrentse
Christina Mitrentse is a multidisiplinary artist concerned with the esoteric qualities of cultural construction through processes of installation, drawing, printmaking, sculpture and conceptual appropriation.These practices are informed by natural occurrences and telluric monuments within our everyday life. Since 2000, Mitrentse continues on creating a freedom to suggest new narratives and poetic ensembles of non ‘normalized’ but temporary self institutions such as schools, libraries, churches and museums. Such an example can be seen in the site-specific project ‘The Secret School’ which took place at a WWII bomb shelter in London shortly before the London bombing in 2005.Recent projects offer an ocularcentric pattern of discovering worlds within our world and meaning in allegory, while they attempt to propose the deconstruction of our conceptual mechanisms.
