I'll be conducting LMK Apparel Alters, transforming peoples apparel by sewing on my unique ‘puffed label netsukes’ on anything being worn by a willing participant. LMK is my newest artwork, it combines recycling and reinterpreting the vintage designs of my mother, Irene Kasmer, inventor of the Hip Hugger™, and re-investigating my own histories as limited edition digital prints on textiles and art wearables. I am continuing the free HOMEsite Clothing Exchanges (2009 - on going). A HOMEsite Clothing Exchange is where one barters for a garment or accessory previously traded, tells the story of what they brought and what they are taking, and that interaction is documented and becomes part of the HOMEsite participatory art installation a collaboration which began in 1992 with Joyce Dallal.

Visit HOMESITE a Participatory Art Project by Joyce Dallal and Lauren M. Kasmer, 1992-2010, at Actions, Conversations, and Intersections an exhibition of participatory projects at the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery January 24 – April 18, 2010 (opening reception is Sunday Jan. 31 ) and the public may continue to participate in this art project during the Homesite Clothing Exchanges and our Homesite Recipe Exchanges .

Clothing Exchanges ( where you bring an unwanted article of clothing, tell us why you want to barter for anothers contribution ) will be conducted on two Sunday afternoons: February 28 and March 28.  On April 11, 2010  we invite the public to The Recipe Exchange Fete, for culinary performances and opportunity, to muse on, write about  and share in your recipes about “Home”. Also accepting online submissions : After the gallery closes at 5 on April 11 this is also to be a thank you party for all contributors to the HOMESite art project.

HOMESITE (pronounced Home-site or Home-City), is the multifaceted interdisciplinary art installation conceived of in 1990 by artists Joyce Dallal and Lauren M. Kasmer investigating the city of Los Angeles, it’s history and environment, as a home place. Homesite consists of modular components that can be rearranged to fit in different spaces. At each exhibition in public spaces such as retail storefront windows through the 90's, we invited city residents to contribute during public workshops and appearances and these visual and text contributions were included in the artpiece. Public participation/contributions continue to be a vital component of this artwork especially in 2009 and through this year where we have initiated and continue the Homesite Clothing Exchanges and Homesite Recipe Exchanges.

LACMA TWITTERED HOMESITE CLOTHING EXCHANGE II at MODAC during the DTLA Artwalk (November 12)

LACMA TWITTERED
HOMESITE CLOTHING EXCHANGE II at MODAC
(during the DTLA Artwalk November 12)


{quote from LACMA site:
. Have something warm to donate this season? Add to the HOMESITE Clothing exchange event this Thu. @downtownartwalk http://bit.ly/2N7Ptt -- }

And that is exactly what happened on November 12, 2009 while HOMESITE CLOTHING EXCHANGE II was an official Happening ( a non-commercial art event) during the Downtown Los Angeles Artwalk. The first participant to enter the Homesite Clothing Exchange II space on Broadway in Downtown Los Angeles, ( hosted by the MODAC Museum of Fashion Designers and Creators ), had just married and relocated from San Francisco. Wife was not fond of his warm trusty blue jacket. But she did like the Bob Marley T shirt left on our rack from HOMESITE CLOTHING EXCHANGE I (which made its debut at the at the Brewery Fall Artwalk). Our last group found one generous soul who traded twenty (20!) garments for 3. She ( and her mother) no longer wanted the multitude of clothing but wanted to “Be a Part of Art”. All exchanges made are documented and will now be part of the HOMESITE participatory artwork by Joyce Dallal and Lauren M. Kasmer. BECOME A FAN to participate in the next Homesite Clothing Exchange and view our other blogger site ( Homesiterecipe.blogspot.com) to submit a story and recipe for the HOMESITE RECIPE EXCHANGE.

-Be A Part of Art- HOMESITE Clothing Exchange declared a great public participatory event - Join us at DTLA Artwalk

a Public Participatory Art Project by Joyce Dallal and Lauren M. Kasmer

-Be A Part of Art- HOMESITE Clothing Exchange declared a great public participatory event - Join us at DTLA Artwalk

The 1st HOMESITE CLOTHING EXCHANGE ( held during the Brewery Fall Artwalk October 24-25 ) was a winner. Some came prepared but many of the participants just took off something they were wearing, then told the story of that article of clothing ( perhaps something they no longer wanted, outgrew, never liked, had a desire to exchange or just wanted to have immortalized ) and then exchanged for another item donated by participants or by local businesses like the MODAC Museum of Fashion Designers and Creators and American Apparel. "Exchanges" were documented and now become pat of the HOMESITE Art Project, which will be seen in its' entire form, including all the new and ongoing public participatory projects, at the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery at Barnsdall in January 2010. Become a fan. Join us for the next exchanges (the HOMESITE RECIPE EXCHANGE online will be here very soon) and exhibitions.
