Bernadette Corporation: 2000 Wasted Years

Confusing exhibition at the ICA looking at the work of this collaborative art group.

OK I confess I didn’t really understand this! It seems to be a group which started by organising parties in New York in the 1980s but over time, as people joined and left, they became a fashion label, a magazine and even published a novel.

There was a useful timeline in one room of what they’d done when and who was involved but I do admit I rather struggle with this conceptual art idea.

There were some interesting clothes on models  but  I never understood the glass box with TV screens in it which made an annoying noise but showed no pictures. Was it broken or was that it?
