ANONYMOUS CLUB
HEADLESS: The Demonstration
the shed
Shayne Oliver’s creative studio Anonymous club
brings HEADLESS: The Demonstration, a three-night live exhibition of music, fashion and performance in The Shed’s Griffin Theater during New York Fashion Week. Each night is dedicated to a distinct facet of Anonymous Club’s practice through the concept of “headlessness,” a term coined by Oliver referring to his own version of ‘carrying,’ or extravagance. All three nights center core aspects of their unique working dynamic, highlighting the ways mentorship and collective experimentation nurture radical art-making.
MUSEUM night (February 10) will spotlight influential figures in Anonymous Club’s community as well as pay homage to central people and works from Oliver’s past, including musical performances throughout the night.
COLLECTIVE night (February 11) showcases collaborative work through fashion and music, including an introduction to SHAYNEOLIVER, Oliver’s new namesake brand. Oliver and Arca’s joint music project, WENCH, will soundtrack the night with the debut of a new project.
From thriving in energetic nightlife spaces, Oliver has always intertwined music with other aspects of his practice such as his production-based music project and alias, LEECH. CLUB night (February 12) is dedicated to the space Anonymous Club holds in New York nightlife, club, and electronic music scenes. During this evening, LEECH will debut a new project and feature performances with special guests..
