Our fifth Art @ MIFF feature highlights the multi-media work of artist Malcolm McLaren who redefines “outside the box” with his contributions to the design, art and music world. Highlights of his earlier creative resume include creating the Sex Pistols, designing clothes (with none other than Vivienne Westwood), and managing and writing lyrics for 80s band Bow Wow Wow. This multi-faceted artist is now developing a Broadway stage musical about fashion, featuring his music and lyrics. His video art installation, Shallow, is part of our Cutting the Edge program.
