Tattle Tale FYI by Desmina de Vil

Welcome to our Summer exhibit in the gallery.  

On view in the gallery thru July 29. Reception for the artist Saturday June 20, 4-6pm

Tattle Tale, FYI is Desmina de Vil's satirical gossip column and literary fashion magazine. Tattle Tale jumps from the page to the stage at the Abrams Claghorn Gallery, where you can meet quirky characters and read the true and tremendous tall tales of Desmina's life. The stories play with the archetypes of popular myths, mysteries, legends, and your favorite fairy-tales. The exhibit explores the rotating cycles of existence – Birth, Life, Death, and Matrimony – each immortalized in trash fashion and hand-me-downs. These costumes have been shown at New York Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week. 

Desmina de Vil is a clown of many talents and accolades. From poetry, to performance, to fashion, Her Tittle Tattle is sure to leave you stunned. The Hidden One, the Nasty One, the One that makes men cower, Desmina reminds us to radically accept and express all parts of self. She tackles non/existence with raw humor and a bleeding heart.
