FACE by DAVID TORO & SOLOMON CHASE
Here are a few things that make me very excited:
1) When people I know make interesting artwork
2) When people I know get good publicity
3) When I see work that straddles the borders of art, fashion, and performance
4) When artwork makes me want to giggle a little bit
All four of these excitement-triggers were set off when I saw the FACE feature on DAZED DIGITAL. I knew David a little bit when he lived in San Francisco a few years ago. I remember one performance piece he did at Jacob's epic Pee Parties, and I also recall a few drawings but after that when he moved to New York, I lost touch of his work.
Disclaimer aside, I completely love FACE.

"FACE explores temporary facial adornment as practical accessories and self-expression. We see the face as the most important part of our outer selves, the first part noticed, the most judged. We want to transform it unlike what is done with makeup or even cosmetic surgery. Our aim with FACE is to experiment with a paradox of utility and aesthetics, and develop products ranging from functional and wearable to extravagant and conceptual"
