4.30pm – 7pm, The Hat Factory Arts Centre, Luton
A 80s TV mini-series episode made by artist Sarah Baker, ‘Impirioso’ explores luxury, idolatry, scandal, and the constructs of dramatic television.
Baker creates a fictional brand, Impirio Rosso, and portrays the sordid affairs of luxury-obsessed Luccia Rosso, brought to life by actress Olivia d’Abo (Conan the Destroyer, The Wonder Years).
Inspired by Patricia Reggiani-Gucci, who served time in prison for killing her husband, Maurizzio Gucci.
A Q&A will follow the screening.
