Penny Slinger has a history with houses. In the early 1970s, the artist responsible for giving Dior\u2019s recent couture show an occult edge, made surreal sculptures out of doll\u2019s houses and used an abandoned country mansion as the backdrop for haunting collage works. Born in London in 1947, Slinger studied at Chelsea College of Arts at the end of the 1960s, when nearby King\u2019s Road was the epicentre of the Swinging Sixties. Bold, clever and unabashed, even as a student Slinger was making strikingly original work using the tools of an earlier generation of male surrealists to explore the feminine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In her Wedding Cake series, made in 1973, Slinger dressed in bridal white as a three-tier gateau, offering herself to be sliced into: a critical take on the packaging of women\u2019s bodies for men\u2019s desires. A striking beauty who modelled for Thea Porter, Slinger made a political point of posing naked for men\u2019s magazines in which she talked about her work, confusing the idea that a beautiful woman in a state of undress was just an object to be looked at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Slinger\u2019s concept for Dior nods to her great work An Exorcism (1977)<\/em>. Seven years in the making, its experimental\u2014and often sexually explicit\u2014collages are set within the spectral, crumbling grandeur of Lilford Hall, a Jacobean pile in Northamptonshire, UK. Using posed photographs of herself, her girlfriend Suzanka Fraey and her ex-boyfriend, the filmmaker Peter Whitehead, Slinger used the building as a metaphor for the psyche, later describing the process as one of self-psychoanalysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n n a recent meeting with the Goa Chief Minister, both the States have agreed to collaborate to amalgamate the marine and the mountain experience together to make it a unique destination in the world by unlocking the potential of 4Ts viz: Trade, Tourism, Technology and Talent, with interchange of ideas in the series of marine-mountain based theme science workshops and exchange of events. The weekly packages will be served to the tourists by both the governments interlinking the itinerary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sissu, at the Northern end of the Atal Tunnel in Lahaul and a home of local deity Raja Ghepan has become a favourite tourist destination. The Sissu Adventure Club and Tourism Society is promoting various activities at Sissu, \u00a0which has completely changed the economy of the tribal district, particularly Lahaul.\u00a0\u00a0 Kaza in Spiti is already hosting the Ice Hockey Championship every winter, but a lot more is to be done to promote winter sports on PPP mode.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Penny Slinger has a history with houses.
