I was just talking to one of my friends last week about how I haven't gone to a museum or any art exhibits in quite some time. I used to be part of the museum council at the MFA, but work got so busy that I ended up never having time to make it over there. On top of that, the ICA has been open for like two years now and I still haven't made it over there. Sad.

And as I was sitting there renewing my vow to get some culture back into my life, I got an email about a new art exhibit that will be opening this week.

The relationship between art and fashion receives fresh treatment in David Alsdorf‟s new exhibit, which makes its world premiere in Boston on September 19 th in association with Boston Fashion Week and South End Open Studios. Alsdorf‟s new collection This is Not Fashion redefines fashion photography, pushing people to examine the nature of this category of imagery and to confront its meaning.

This is Not Fashion opens for Boston Fashion Week on Friday, September 19, with a reception at Turtle (619A Tremont Street, Boston) from 5-7 PM. The opening continues during South End Open Studios, Saturday September 20 – Sunday September 21, 12-5pm. The exhibit will remain on display through Sunday, October 19
