The 2nd Skin Exhibit opening night took place on 4/25/08 in San Francisco. The event is a celebration of clothing creativity. Crave notes that, “[There was] a man wearing costumes covered head to toe in LEDs. Another man wearing a suit made of bubble wrap. A woman in a skirt made of Snickers wrappers. And a woman in a dress that generates power when she moves.” The 2nd Skin Exhibit has a futuristic, sort of burlesque-like vision where the artists featured challenge the standard notions of practical clothing. Materials include everything from re-purposed goods to glowing electrical supplies from the hardware store.  To notice fashion is to begin decoding trends in art, culture and human expression. These artists and designers are among those who view clothing as a moving palette that makes it possible to experience artworks anywhere. Conceptual advances in the way artists explore this palette have given rise to an unprecedented montage o what of what were formerly seen as disparate elements.
