A CONTROVERSIAL artist is taking a fresh look at fashion and bringing his latest work to the North-East.

Graham Dolphin hit the headlines when publishers Conde Nast blocked a display of his work featuring distorted covers of their Vogue magazine at London's Barbican centre.

He will be launching a book and exhibition, Everything in Vogue, which brings together his work over the past six years and new drawings, in Middlesbrough tomorrow.

Dolphin's work is characterised by the representing and manipulation of fashion objects, images, sounds and music as well other forms of popular culture.

The exhibition will run from tomorrow until May 15 in Psyche and Caf Sassari, in Linthorpe Road, Middlesbrough. Copies of the book, priced at £15, will also be available.

For details on how to order the book, contact the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art offices on (01642) 803434.
