An interesting visual commentary on the space where streetwear and luxury meet, tonight is the launch of the photo show “Altered Luxury” featuring photographs from Matt Salacuse, Robert Dimin & Justin Melnick.
Robert Dimin’s photos “Designer Drugs & Entitled”. consist of work he did from 2001-2004 that deconstructs high-end fashion logos (Marc Jacobs, Prada etc) and mixes them in with pop culture imagery.
Justin Melnick (known well as a photo journalist with a concentration on the Middle East) shows “Arm Me”, a collection of ammunition that is mixed in with luxury brands - Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and more.
Matt Salacuse collaborates with Marvin Barksdale to produce interpretations of luxury ads with street ads.
The show launches at the Dactyl Gallery (64 Grand St, 7-11pm) this evening and then continues on to the SoleFood Gallery.
