Machine Dazzle, to my mind, [is] a true theatrical genius who has
created some of the most inventive costumes and sets I have ever
seen. Hilton Als Machine Dazzle is the much in-demand designer and
artist behind popular cabaret, drag, and performance stars such as
Taylor Mac and transgender icon Mx. Justin Vivian Bond. For the
first time, his over-the-top stage creations, made for himself and
others, are collected in one volume alongside stage environments,
ephemera, and photos from his fascinating career. In Machine Dazzle
s world, costumes are transformative objects with world-making
capacity. The artist s queer maximalism encapsulates a more is
better attitude to making and creating which looks to counter
elitist notions that spectacle and extravagance are vapid. For him
these associations are embraced as queer for their affirmation of
hybridity over purity and the rejection of hierarchies of every
kind, cultural and otherwise. On the occasion of a major exhibition
at the Museum of Arts and Design, curator Elissa Auther brings
together a rich collections of essays and reminiscences from fellow
performers, historians and cultural critics that consider every
aspect of Machine Dazzle s rich body of work.
