Summary:

"This (bilingual) conversation with clothing designer Liliam Dooley has for object her most recent work, Project X (see below) for which she cut two distinct second-hand dresses and assembled them together to produce a third one. The particularity of this project is to voluntarily function with low costs of production in order to address a broader social audience than unique clothing usually does. Creativity and economic justice are therefore involved by a designer who has for aim to disappear. These clothing are the meeting point of three designers (the two original ones and Liliam), but also three bodies who influence the cloth in their uniqueness. Thank you to Gean Moreno for simultaneously translating this conversation. Liliam Dooley is a designer and artist working primarily with conceptual and critical design. She studied at Higher Institute of Design in Havana and in the academy of fine arts San Alejandro. She is now working on her recent project called X. Recent works include: a collaboration for the performance Emerald House at The Bakery (Miami, 2014), project X, which was exhibited at Factoría Habana (Havana Sept 2013); costume design for the performance Aquarius Juice at Light Box (Miami, 2012); project Spirals in a collaboration for the performance Think like a guy in Inkub8 (Miami, 2010)."-- provided by distributor.
