WALLWORKS NEW YORK AND INSPIRATION POINT BRING YOU DANGER LIVE ARTISTS - A CELEBRATION OF FASHION MODA MODERN GALLERY OPENING!

​

Inspiration Point is excited to announce the opening of FASHION 时髦 MODA МОДА MODERN, a revival of the groundbreaking South Bronx gallery founded by Stefan Eins in 1978. For fifteen years, Fashion Moda served as an interdisciplinary art space, fusing street culture, fine arts, and community engagement until its closing in 1993.

 

Fashion Moda Modern’s inaugural exhibition, DANGER LIVE ARTISTS, brings together works from many of the artists who helped define the gallery’s legacy, reconnecting the community with a movement that shaped the cultural identity of the Bronx. Featuring pieces selected by pioneering Fashion Moda artist and GAS curator John “Crash” Matos, represented artists will include: A-One, John Ahearn, Marc Brasz, Luis Colmenares, Thom Corn, Daze, John Fekner, Guerrilla Girls, Jenny Holzer, Lisa Kahane, Justen Ladda, Lee, Kool Koor, Don Leicht, Joe Lewis, Christy Rupp, Toxic, and more. The exhibition will continue upstairs at our WALLWORKS gallery, showcasing both historic works and new creations from these artists who forged, and continue to inspire the South Bronx’s enduring identity through art.

 

At the centerpiece of the launch, artist Jane Dickson, in collaboration with Crash, will reimagine her seminal 1980 Fashion Moda installation, City Maze. One of the gallery's most iconic works, the maze was a space where local youth could explore and play in a symbolic urban labyrinth. This new City Maze will revive the spirit of the original South Bronx experiment - an immersive, interactive environment born from the energy of the streets. COME GET LOST!
