Beauty Parlour

In the Spring of 2008 almost every Thursday evening was dedicated to public research meetings called Beauty Parlours...

Parlour what?

Beauty Parlours were public research meetings in preparation of a Me! Me! Me! (Ik! Ik! Ik!), an exhibition about Self-Representation on the Internet, starting in July 2008 at Mediamatic. Beauty Parlours took place between January and April 2008.

Every week we invited an inspiring lecturer, who spoke about self-representation from his or her area of expertise. The presentations were followed by discussion.

You can also share your thoughts and ideas on self-representation and exhibition on the Ik! Ik! Ik! Forum and also by contacting Katja Novitskova
