Susanne Bartsch —Transformation! – Susanne Bartsch is a style icon and the mind behind some of New York’s most legendary events over the past four decades. Born in Switzerland, she found her roots in the subcultures of 1970s London, embracing punk and the New Romantics before moving to New York in 1981. Bartsch has championed diversity, shaping events that combine fashion, club culture, and performance. She uses hedonism as a creative strategy to break boundaries, challenge norms, and foster inclusivity within the fashion and art worlds. Her unique imagination and style have cemented her legacy in underground fashion culture and contemporary club culture. The exhibition is structured like a night out, tracing the transformation from everyday life to the club’s peak moment.
