Bjork’s Wanderlust
This.Hearts.On.Fire first tipped us off to this, a 3D screening of Bjork’s latest video and some behind-the-scenes artifacts from the video shoot on display (very Matthew Barney, eh?) at Deitch Studios’ new Queens location.
Supposedly, this is open to the public tonight only, says Gothamist. So see you in LIC?

When it comes to design, fashion designer Bernhard Willhelm may emphasize an idea over practicality, but at the end of the day, he’s someone who understands the fundamental concepts at the root of dressing and the psychology behind the urge to costume one’s self. He speaks to the peacock in all of us, that desire to preen and to move our bodies in mysterious and rapturous ways.
On Feb. 1, just before the start of New York fashion week, Paris-based Willhelm flew to town for his first New York event, held at the Tribeca Grand hotel, to present “Men in Tights,” a new fashion-based film. Based around his Fall/Winter 2008 menswear collection, Willhelm produced the innovative short in collaboration with Nick Knight, London-based fashion photographer and founder of SHOWStudio, a website that gives a behind-the-scenes look at the fashion world with some of fashion’s most influential figures.
